adjective
- adjuring
From time to time a waiter entered with ice and fruit and dumped them in a bowl; from a suit case under the table Gene drew fresh bottles and decanted them into the bowl; then, proprietorial, adjurant, sweating, he resumed his harsh monologue, mopping his face on his sleeve.
1931, William Faulkner, Sanctuary, Library of America, published 1985, page 168
