Inaction soon cloyed Captain Jim. It got on his nerves. Presently he conceived a resentment toward the agent for bringing him down there under false pretences of daring deeds to be done, that never materialized. One day Major Llewellyn imprudently countermanded an order Jim had given his Chief of Police, under conditions which the Captain took as a personal affront.
The more he contemplated her character, the more difficult the conquest seemed to be: he therefore altered his plan, and resolved to carry on his operations under the shelter of honourable proposals, foreseeing that a wife of her qualifications, if properly managed, would turn greatly to the account of the husband, or, if her virtue should prove refractory, that he could at any time rid himself of the encumbrance, by decamping without beat of drum, after he should be cloyed with possession.
Such of these letters as came while Carrie was still in the Seventeenth Street place were read with more interest though never delight than those which arrived after she was installed in her luxurious quarters at the Wellington. Even there her vanity or that self-appreciation which, in its more rabid form, is called vanity was not sufficiently cloyed to make these things wearisome.

"Well," said Parry, when I had done, "that's very pretty; but I don't see how it bears on the argument." "I think," I replied, "that it illustrates the point I wanted to make.
When an east wind blew, men on the streets of Bonneville, nearly twelve miles away, could catch the scent of this valley of flowers, this chaos of perfume. And into this life of flowers, this world of colour, this atmosphere oppressive and clogged and cloyed and thickened with sweet odour, Angele had been born. There she had lived her sixteen years. There she had died.
They then went off, I suppose to give an account of the reception they were like to meet with; indeed, that salute cloyed their stomachs, for they immediately halted, stood a while to consider of it, and wheeling off to the left, they gave over their design for that time, which was very agreeable to our circumstances.
I am held responsible for the health of these girls; I am blamed over and over again, when it is not my fault, for irregularities in their diet and there they are, at this moment, chilled with ices and cloyed with cakes! What will Mrs. Gallilee say?" "Don't tell her," Mr. Gallilee suggested.
