The abrupt language of the angel in this and a subsequent case, is strongly expressive of resentment: "See not." Such is the curt, sententious utterance in the Greek text. He assigns the best reason and strongest argument against idolatry: "I am thy fellow-servant," a creature as well as yourself: we are servants of one Lord, who alone is the object of our devotion, "Worship God."
The future will prove the value of the objective, the deductive which is mine," he added with a sententious emphasis that left the puzzled rector no wiser than before. "Whatever the method, Colonel, you have a fine family; there is no mistake about that," he said heartily.

It is curious to observe, on turning over the leaves of the marked copy of this Reading, the sententious little marginal notes for his own guidance, jotted down by the hand of this wonderful master of elocutionary effect.
