He stood awhile, looking at the workmen, and then went to oversee the laborers at the mill-dam. Monday, July, 24th. I bathed in the river on Thursday evening, and in the brook at the old dam on Saturday and Sunday, the former time at noon.
"I mean, is he going to work the farm himself, or hire it out, or let somebody else work it on shares?" "I don't know," said Fleda "I think he is going to have a farmer, and oversee things himself." "He'll get sick o' that," said Seth; "unless he's the luck to get hold of just the right hand."
They are delighted with the whole plan, and, while I oversee the business, I get nothing. Any one who cares to do so may examine our system, and learn how straight it is.

They were of all types: skiffs and wherries and canoes and snub-nosed punts, with a great number of short, sharply rounded craft, new to my American observance, and called cockles, very precisely adapted to contain one girl, who had to sit with her eyes firmly fixed on the young man with the oars, lest a glance to this side or that should oversee the ticklishly balanced shell.

For the first few weeks after her mother's death little Veronica sat every evening weeping silently by herself in a dark corner of the room.
Atwater, gazing out into the glowing embers of the great fireplace, slowly said, as the musical chime of the silver bells of the mantel clock sounded ten: "And now I feel that Messrs. Boardman and Warner can oversee your local Medical Board and keep the institution from lapsing into the dry rot of a purely charitable organization."
Early March, then, saw the deadlock unbroken. The St. Michael had not been dislodged. Emma still was unwavering so far as we knew. We were unable, had we willed, to divest ourselves of our deterrent attributes. But the situation had changed to this extent that Crocker was said to be on his way down to oversee a new system of spring tillage in person.
No slight task indeed was it to oversee the many business details of Her Majesty's Rancho and to keep a record of them. Madeline found the course of business training upon which her father had insisted to be invaluable to her now. It helped her to assimilate and arrange the practical details of cattle-raising as put forth by the blunt Stillwell.
