Although he felt a spasm of sincere satisfaction pass through him at the result of his chum's test, at the same time he realized that there was no necessity for making "mountains out of molehills." Madame Pangborn had instantly surmised that there was more connected with that odd little silver spoon than she had as yet grasped.
"Oh, Nick!" There was deep reproach in Olga's voice, and at sound of it Max smiled with dry humour. Nick laughed outright, openly heartless. "My beloved chicken, who is making mountains out of molehills now? I would escort you myself if I hadn't got to attend this committee meeting in town, a million plagues upon it! Come along and open my letters for me! We are wasting time."
"I understand now," she said; "I must endeavour to control myself you have something to tell me which will try my temper." He held up his hands in humorous protest: "Ah, my darling, here's your vivid imagination again, making mountains out of molehills, as they say! It's nothing half so serious as you seem to think; I have only to tell you of a little change." "A little change?" she repeated.
The question certainly bore a tragic suggestion. M. Roussillon lacked everything of being a coward, and treachery had no rightful place in his nature.

Their warehouses were the great distributing depots from whence the costly merchandise of the East was sent abroad over Europe. They were warlike little nations and defied, in those days, governments that overshadow them now as mountains overshadow molehills.
Their parting, if less passionate, was more tender than usual; and Roy rode away with a distinct ache in his heart at thought of losing her; a nascent reluctance to make mountains out of molehills in respect of her and Lance....

Lady Claudia stopped me with the perfect grace of which she was mistress. "My good child, don't distress yourself! don't make mountains out of molehills!" She patted me on the cheek with two plump white fingers which felt deadly cold. "I was not always prudent, Mina, when I was your age.
