Comte. *Victor. Duc de Belluno. Some critics have blamed me for underrating the rôle of the Prussians at Waterloo; but after careful study I have concluded that it has been overrated by some recent German writers.
"The value of these great social experiments cannot be overrated," he says. "By deed, instead of by argument, they have shown that production on a large scale, and in accord with the behests of modern science, may be carried on without the existence of a class of masters employing a class of hands."
His silence, interpreted by her into indifference, had hurt her more than she liked owning, even to herself; and the confession of their mutual promise, which she had intended making to Adam, was still withheld, because her vanity forbade her to speak of a man whose affection she had undoubtedly overrated.
He went up to the Falls of St. Anthony, which, after Niagara and the Yosemite, was accounted "tame and overrated" by Mrs. Sykes, but over which he pondered deeply. Before he left there the river had got a strong hold on his imagination that grew ever greater and greater. He spent all his time on the boat studying it.
'I will answer you as concisely as possible, I said. 'I have been pressed, by one whose least preference is a law to me, to have a photograph of myself executed which shall form a counterpart or pendant, as it were, to her own.

We, who had tasted this cup before, knew they had read at least a part of the legend of the wary trout without knowing it.
"Poor Uncle Fountain, what a schemer he turns out!" "Men all turn out schemers when you know them, Miss Impertinence. Well, dear, I have no selfish views for you. I love my few friends too single-heartedly for that; but I am sad when I see you leaving us to go where you are not prized." "Indeed, aunt, I am prized at Font Abbey. I am overrated there as I am here.
There's other little matters," with a furtive glance at my square shoulders and bony figure, "necessary to success. But you'll understand." I saw how anxious the man was that I should accede to the proposal. I had not overrated my genius, then? "If the thing's to be done, let it be done quickly. I'm going to run back to town to-morrow night, and you'd best go with me, and go in rehearsal at once.
The real value of this mushroom is largely overrated thanks to a too laudatory epithet. Is a certain degree of consistency required, to suit the grubs: something midway between the softness of the amanitas and the firmness of the milk mushrooms? Its popular name is not particularly appropriate.
