I see that I was altogether wrong.
"The oddness of the expression 'Bible-men, I remember, struck me at the time, but Hamilton made some explanatory reply, for the quiet force of the soft voice had a certain persuasiveness about it without the aid of his gesture, although the smoke was so thick that we could not see whether he carried the instruments of his country or not.
"I like Americans better than anybody else," he went on with deft persuasiveness. "They ain't aren't afraid of anything. They're not cowards." Truxton sat down at once. He could not turn tail in the face of such an exalted opinion. "I'm not supposed to ever go out alone," went on the Prince confidentially. "You see, they're going to blow me up if they get a chance."

He calls him the Man of Tears, and shows with great persuasiveness that herein lay the secret of his power.

But he could talk fluently enough, as became apparent when changing his tone to persuasiveness he went on: "By listening to you as I did, I think I have proved that I do not regard our intercourse as strictly official. In fact, I don't want it to have that character at all.... Oh yes! I admit that the request for your presence here had an official form.
