In a perfect passion of consternation they turned upon Wilde and not only claimed their right to sign, but also insisted that he should conform to Polson's demand and be the first among them to affix his signature.
A little later Knopff was telling me of the old manuscripts in the library illuminated gorgeously by "de pious and skilful monkeys of de Middle Ages." He was a bright fellow, and I have hoped I might encounter his name in some honourable connection. If he survived it was as one of the unbekannt, an affix very dreadful to young aspirants for university honours.
"So," said Andreas when the writing was finished, "now Martin Teimer and I will affix our names to this open order; Ennemoser will then copy it half a dozen times, and six of you will carry the copies to the other leaders who are already waiting for them, and who will give the signal to their friends in the lower valley.
"Then you are all determined to sign the capitulation after I have done so?" asked General Bisson, still hesitating. "We are," cried the officers. "We are ready to do so," said Major Armance, "and in proof hereof I affix my name to the capitulation before you have signed it, general." He subscribed the paper with a quick but steady hand.
"They hand us a fountain pen and say 'Sign here," the Premier exclaimed, "and then they are surprised if we refuse to affix our signatures to a document which vitally concerns our national future but about which we have never been consulted."

In obedience to this warrant, they attack him with their swords and put him to death where-ever they happen to find him, and then affix the royal order upon his body, that all may know the reason of his death. It is not permitted to any nayre to assume arms, or to enter into any combat, till he has been armed as a knight.

To Franky he would give languid advice about the pictures he was colouring, about the amount of cobbler's wax to affix to the skipjack he was making, about the rigging of his walnut ships. Of Deleah Deleah, who had been his pet, whom he had acknowledged openly to be his favourite child he was shy. He had been told how it had been she who had arranged the matter of his bail.
Every member of the Whig junto was distinguished by some conspicuous mark of royal favour. Somers delivered up the seal, of which he was Keeper; he received it back again with the higher title of Chancellor, and was immediately commanded to affix it to a patent, by which he was created Baron Somers of Evesham. Russell became Earl of Orford and Viscount Barfleur.
She felt that kiss he folded away in it, in every fibre of her aroused and sympathetic heart, but the hardest part of the ordeal was over and her eyes beamed softly when she turned again to take it from his hand and affix the stamp. "You will mail it yourself?" he asked. "I should like to have you put it into the box with your own hand."
