Poole an able woman in her line, and very trustworthy, but for one fault a fault common to a deal of them nurses and matrons she kept a private bottle of gin by her, and now and then took a drop over-much. It is excusable, for she had a hard life of it: but still it was dangerous; for when Mrs.
The Drink mask is a very scaring thing; once you watch it being slowly fitted on to a beautiful and spiritual face you do not care over-much about the revenue. And now the famous Russian's question comes up: What shall we do?
Who shall pity the Big Doctor, or blame him over-much? He died in the fullness of his powers, with his ambitions, as he believed, attained. He knew himself to be a good son of the Church, a faithful husband, a successfully-scheming father. What his priest thought of him is known only to his priest, but we may be sure he regretted him.
For the last it becomes us to repent, for it was to our everlasting shame; but not more to us than to France who condemned her, who lifted no finger to help her, who raised not even a cry, a protest, against the cruelty and wrong.

"I have heard how you came to know him and his fair daughter at Wareham. It was well done, though maybe I should blame you for running over-much risk." "I think I ran little, lord king," I said; "and I could have done no less for the poor maiden." "Surely; but I meant that to go at all was over dangerous."

And wit well, that the realm of Arabia is a full great country, but therein is over-much desert. And no man may dwell there in that desert for default of water, for that land is all gravelly and full of sand.
At the early age at which she married a chit out of a boarding-school she would have jumped overboard if her papa had ordered. "And that is always the way with the Esmonds," she said. The English Warringtons were not over-much flattered by the little American Princess's behaviour to them, and her manner of speaking about them.
They are already abroad in the woods, and were it not for the fear of the Wolf they would be thicker therein, and faring wider; for we have slain many of them, coming upon them unawares; and they know not where we dwell, nor who we be: so they fear to spread about over-much and pry into unknown places lest the Wolf howl on them.
She died in her chateau at Montgivray and was buried March 20, 1899, at Nohant where, as my informant says, "her mother died of over-much cigarette smoking." She was a clever woman and wrote a book "Masks and Buffoons." Maurice Sand died in 1883. He was the son of his mother, who was gathered to her heterogeneous ancestors June 8, 1876.
Be not rash, neither be over-much affrighted. The Lord has preserved me, and methinks He will preserve you, too." With that she stepped forward and laid a hand upon the shoulder of the poor woman, who was weeping copiously over her husband, and calling him by every name she could think of, though he lay rigid with half-open eyes and heeded her not.
