Etymology: From lordful + -ly.

  1. In a lordful manner

    They have said boldly and lordfully, " Here we stand, the offspring of the by gone time, an oak here and a mushroom there, and as long as we can each count one, you shall have no good thing either with us or without us."

    In a very real sense, then, George lordfully creates the troubles for which Lennie will himself be blamed and punished—though he only obeys his master's vengeful voice.
