alright, i have a few questions of my own. I'll provide the whole sentence to help context-wise. These are from a novel i'm reading called ookami to koushinryou (spice & wolf).

ロレンスは精一杯どすを利かせたつもりだったが、娘は一向に動じない。

i'm a bit unsure about the meaning of the part i underlined/bolded. From what little i could find in my dictionaries, i think it has something to do with the inflexion of lawrences voice. Am i right? Like saying something in a strong voice?

目の前の光景がどうしても信じられず、ロレンスはしまいには水の詰まった皮袋を手に取って、中の水で顔を洗ったのだった。

same here, i don't understand the u/b'd part. It's easy to tell what the sentence means without it, but what is this word/verb?

thanks.
