Footnotes

1: "projected his voice loudly"

Authority is assumed here, even though it is not stated specifically in the original text. This is because there are only a handful of reasons for someone to shout or project his voice, and the giving of a command is obviously the one that fits the context. In order to give a command one must have the proper authority.
