"It is a shame, lass," the sergeant said good temperedly; "an I had been there I would have broke the fellow's sconce for him; but another time, lass, you should not overstay the hour; it is not good for young girls to be roaming at night in a town full of soldiers. There, I hope your mother won't beat you, for, after all, it was the fault of the governor's cook rather than yours."
Fordyce's resolution that Griffith should enjoy none of the privileges of an accepted suitor before the engagement was an actual fact. Ellen was obedient and conscientious; and would neither transgress nor endure to have her mother railed at by Griff's hasty tongue, and this affronted him, and led to little breezes. When people overstay their usual time, tempers are apt to get rather difficult.
We were asked for a fortnight, and I am not troubling my memory to count by how many days we have overstayed not our welcome, I hope but our invitation. You will wonder perhaps why I "overstay," since I frankly admit that I'm "fed up" with too much scenery and too much information. Yet no, you are far too clever to wonder, dear Sis.
If I were alone without the mater and Milly, I'd say let's hang on for a day or two longer and run the risk though running it might make me overstay my leave. That would be nothing, though. I wouldn't think of myself in any way. But I can't let my mother and sister go without me to look after them as well as I'm able.
Let's not overstay our dissipation. Sex is like eating. Who would eat if he didn't have to? To say you enjoy a meal is carnal. To say that you derive some sense of ecstasy from paternal and maternal desires is a confession of depravity. Sex at the best is a sin. Sex at the best is like stepping down. That sex might be an ascent. That sex might be the only means of growth and expansion.
But remimber you, that that man Dearsley had packed me off on wan av his material-thrains to Benares, all for to make me overstay my leave an' get me into the cells. The explanation was an eminently rational one.
This is a beautiful place you have found." "I was resting under this tree, listening to the birds, but I felt afraid I should not be back to the boat in time, and was just starting to return." "I think we can overstay our time a little," said Haley. "They won't go back without me, I reckon," he added, with a laugh. Robert was nothing loth to stay, and resumed his place on the grass.
I used to go for her every afternoon to some hotel or the other, and always a different one, she not being domesticated, so to speak, and never caring to overstay her welcome. A daintier little body was never fitted upon a chassis. There are some who like them fair, and some who like them dark but Dolly St.
There was reason to hope that the old firm would soon form profitable connections with houses with which it had hitherto had no dealings. This was evidently an allusion to the discontented Whigs. But, it was added, the shipments must not be delayed. Nothing was so dangerous as to overstay the market.
Marjory did not attempt to induce him to overstay his time. She was too proud of his position as one of the foremost knights of Scotland to say a word to detain him from the field. So she bade him adieu with a brave face, reserving her tears until after he had ridden away.
