O Lurgan Sahib! Is it an order that thy servant does not speak to me? 'It is an order. The voice came from behind him and he started. 'Very good. But remember, he muttered, as he resought the quilt, 'I will beat thee in the morning. I do not love Hindus. That was no cheerful night; the room being overfull of voices and music. Kim was waked twice by someone calling his name.
There was Ed Collier, a fine man full of contrivances and flirtations, abandoning the girl of his heart and ripping out into the contiguous territory in the pursuit of sordid grub. 'Twas a rebuke to the poets and a slap at the best-paying element of fiction. An empty stomach is a sure antidote to an overfull heart.
She died very soon afterwards. That is the only memory I have of her. Isn't it a beautiful one?" Anne felt lonelier than ever as she walked home, going by way of the Birch Path and Willowmere. She had not walked that way for many moons. It was a darkly-purple bloomy night. The air was heavy with blossom fragrance almost too heavy. The cloyed senses recoiled from it as from an overfull cup.
She made herself responsible for Aubrey, and, after a few battles with his desultory habits, made him a very promising pupil, inspiring so much of herself into him, that he was, if anything, overfull of her classical tastes. In fact, he had such an appetite for books, and dealt so much in precocious wisdom, that his father was heard to say, "Six years old!
There were attempts to pair her off as a twin sister of various correspondencies in age, size, and color, and to palm her off, as a substitute, at migratory, bereaved, overfull breasts.

Then, when the others had gone, each man about his business, Robin turned once more to the youth. "Now, lad," said he, "tell us thy troubles, and speak freely. A flow of words doth ever ease the heart of sorrows; it is like opening the waste weir when the mill dam is overfull. Come, sit thou here beside me, and speak at thine ease."
Here she came to cry, when her little heart was overfull at her mother's sharp fault-finding, or when bidden to keep out of the way, and not be troublesome. She used to look over the swelling expanse of moor, and the tears were dried up by the soft low-blowing wind which came sighing along it.
"They are nothing to me, and I'm nothing to them; but they are just they are just the formless sort of thing that a formless sort of fellow always marries; they help to fill up the world, you know." "Yes, they help to fill a world that is overfull already. Poor Mama and Eugene don't know how full it is. When Gene wants to sell a picture and can't, he thinks it's a desert island."
The one-sided street that faced the track was lined with buggies, wagons, and a few automobiles; horses and two or three yoke of oxen were tethered outside the overfull livery stables. A strong breeze drove blinding dust-clouds through the place, but even in the wind the sunshine was scorching. As he strolled toward the fair-ground, George became interested in the crowd.
"Do as you think; 'tis none of my business with calves and things." "Well, 'twould be a pity to eat up calf, seems to me. And leave us with but one cow on the place." "Don't seem to me like you'd do that anyway," says Isak. That was their way. Lonely folk, ugly to look at and overfull of growth, but a blessing for each other, for the beasts, and for the earth. And Goldenhorns calved.
