John Dounce’s red countenance, illuminated as it was by the flickering gas-light in the window before which he paused, excited the lady’s risibility, or whether a natural exuberance of animal spirits proved too much for that staidness of demeanour which the forms of society rather dictatorially prescribe.
And if, therefore, I speak dictatorially, and say this is base, or degraded, or ugly, I mean, only that I believe men of the longest experience in the matter would either think it so, or would be prevented from thinking it so only by some morbid condition of their minds; and I believe that the reader, if he examine himself candidly, will usually agree in my statements.
"Perfectly lovely," said Marie, "but" with a slight shiver of her expressive shoulders "a little cold and outdoorish, eh?" "Nonsense," returned Kitty dictatorially, "and if he IS cold, he can easily light those logs. They always build their open fires under a tree. Why, even Mr. Gunn used to do that when he was camping out in the Adirondacks last summer.
The wedding must take place this winter. Willibald has no time to get married in the spring." "Nonsense, a man always has time to get married," declared Schönau, just as dictatorially. "Not in the country," asserted Frau Regine. "There something else must be considered; first work, then pleasure. That's always been the rule with us, and that's what I've taught Will."
"They say, that fool Pelham makes up to her." "I should not imagine that was true," said the secretary; "he is so occupied with Madame D'Anville." "Pooh!" said Aberton, dictatorially, "she never had any thing to say to him." "Why are you so sure?" said Mr. Howard de Howard.

"She is funny," said Gerard dictatorially. "I must be either that or knavish." "How so?" "Because 'The Three Fish' pay me to be funny. You will eat before you part? Good! then I'll go see the meat be fit for such worshipful teeth." "Denys!" "What is your will?" "I wish that was a great boy, and going along with us, to keep us cheery." "So do not I. But I wish it was going along with us as it is."
"'Yes, we have all the same interests, said Sieyes, dictatorially, 'and our interests are one with those of the nation. "'A rare thing, said the Prince, smiling. "'We must act, interrupted Fouche.
They came right on, the Englishman shouting to us not to fire, and then asking, as he came close, to speak with an officer. Colonel Preston appeared, and the messenger called upon us to surrender. "And if we do not?" said the colonel. "The gate will be stormed at once, and very little mercy shown," said the man, speaking dictatorially now, as if he had caught the manner of his Spanish companions.
And what man of letters would not shrink from seeming to dispose dictatorially of the claims of two men who are, at any rate, such masters in letters as Dryden and Pope; two men of such admirable talent, both of them, and one of them, Dryden, a man, on all sides, of such energetic and genial power? And yet, if we are to gain the full benefit from poetry, we must have the real estimate of it.
