From which flight he descended with a thud to observe that it was quarter of two o'clock, and the dining-room was cold with the dying down of the Latrobe, and the excellent reading-lamp in the death-throes of going out. He went upstairs in the dark, annoyed with himself for having overstayed his bedtime.
And now I've overstayed the time you first thought I should be gone, already, and yet I'm going to close my letter by quoting the last lines in yours, "If you need more money, cable for it. The family is well, the building going along finely, and Peter, your Dutch boy, most efficient by the way, we all like him immensely. This is your chance. Take it." Well, I'm going to.
Lord Silverbridge remained hunting in the Brake country till a few days before the meeting of Parliament, and had he been left to himself he would have had another week in the country and might probably have overstayed the opening day; but he had not been left to himself.
After that hour any Maltese policeman who brings them aboard gets one sovereign, cash. But he has to do all the bringing part of it on his own. Consequence is, you see boats rowing out to the ship, carrying men who have overstayed their leave; and when they get near enough, the able-bodied gentleman in custody jumps to his feet, upsets the boat, and swims for the gangway.
Miss Haldin glanced at the watch on her wrist and made a brusque movement. She had already overstayed her time, it seemed. "I don't like to be away from mother," she murmured, shaking her head. "It is not that she is very ill now. But somehow when I am not with her I am more uneasy than ever." Mrs. Haldin had not made the slightest allusion to her son for the last week or more.
Regrets were assailing her. Long indeed had she overstayed her visit to the West. She must not linger there indefinitely.

"We overstayed our time," said Dick, looking back, "but it was a good cove for us. Our presence there tempted the enemy to battle, and we destroyed him. Then we had shelter and a home when the great storm came." "A good cove, truly," said Pennington, "and we sha'n't forget it."
With his machine gun jammed and his petrol running low, what was there for him to do but descend and make for the home aerodrome? "Might as well," he reflected. "We've already overstayed our time." Pointing gently downwards, he suffered himself to drift. That is, if one in the midst of a blinding storm and seated in a war-plane may be supposed to drift.
"Don't you know that I have overstayed my time by almost a month?" "Yes, but " "Well, don't you know that if I tell you beforehand that I am going, you always contrive excuses and hatch plots, to keep me at least three weeks longer?" "I plead guilty," laughed Olive. "Well, you see I have staid out my days of grace already.
Went up to visit some friends in Montreal. Had a glorious time. Had my first lesson in skating and But tell me, how long shall you be here in town?" He was swiftly depressed by the recollection that already he had overstayed his time by a whole day, and must at the latest depart that night or resign his job! A job without her was nothing. She without a job an impossibility!
