And strange to say! these, as you see, not overwhelmingly witty phrases, keep him in food and drink and clothes. He can drink, too ... but in Russia it is hard to gain distinction as a drinker. In short, his success is a complete riddle to me.... There is one thing, perhaps; he is discreet; he has no taste for washing dirty linen away from home, never speaks a word against anyone.
I turned my face away and leaned against the ash-tree. "Can you see anythin'?" asked one of the labourers who had come up behind me. "Oh! Christ!" I said. I turned quickly from the pond and pressed a way through the gorse. I was overwhelmingly and disgustingly sick.
His voice, being a strong baritone, was overwhelmingly loud in the middle notes, and sank into a muffled ineffective rumble in the deep tones. Having a bad ear for tune, he disconcerted the ladies also the rowers. But what did that matter?

Why should not the Constitution be made to suhf and to represent a constituency so overwhelmingly in the majority?... "This great majority is becoming daily more conscious not only of their rights, but of their power.
It was a room overwhelmingly gilded, with an abundance of ormolu encrustations on the furniture, in which it nowise differed from what was customary in the dwellings of people of birth and wealth. Never, indeed, was there a time in which so much gold was employed decoratively as in this age when coined gold was almost unprocurable, and paper money had been put into circulation to supply the lack.
