But what can be expected in a place where Europeans never expect to outstay the second year, and where Africans, who never yet worked without compulsion, cannot legally be compelled to work? We then walked up to Government House, the Fort Thornton of old charts, whose roof, seen from the sea, barely tops the dense curtain of tree and shrubbery that girds and hangs around it.
"I don't think you will. It would cost you too much," he said. Then he went down the steep, crooked little staircase quite soundlessly and Andrews, rather white and breathless, went and packed her trunk. Robin tired baby as she was slept warm and deeply. It was no custom of his to outstay other people; in fact, he usually went away comparatively early.
The reports seemed to be drawing nearer to the city, the battle to be waxing fiercer and fiercer with every moment. Why did not Weiss return? He had pledged himself so faithfully not to outstay the first attack!
There were a dozen officers at his heels, all as merry as if it were a foxhunt, but of the dozen there was not one left in the evening. "Warm work, Adams," said he as he rode up. "Very warm, your grace," said our general. "But we can outstay them at it, I think. Tut, tut, we cannot let skirmishers silence a battery! Just drive those fellows out of that, Adams."
Then Vernon would see her home, and she might find out something, however little, about Betty. But if this young man went she too must go. She could not outstay him in the rooms of his friend. So she talked on, and Temple was just as much at her mercy as Betty had been at the mercy of the brother artist in the rabbit warren at Long Barton.

It could carry on the magazine without his guidance. Moreover, Bok wished to say good-by to his public before it decided, for some reason or other, to say good-by to him. He had no desire to outstay his welcome.
My only trouble is I have so many sins, but there only God is without sin. That's right, isn't it?" "No doubt it is." "I have no teeth, of course; my poor old back aches; there is one thing and another, . . . asthma and that sort of thing. . . . I ache. . . . The flesh is weak, but then think of my age! I am in the eighties! One can't go on for ever; one mustn't outstay one's welcome."
And then he never openly takes what he wants, as Hugh does for instance, but he always pretends he does not care for anything, that he is too much absorbed in intellectual conversation to attend to anything so sublunary as eating, while all the time he is gloating over the nice things, and sure to outstay everybody at the table. The very way he gets a piece of cake is a study.
Have you been to Como, yet?" Mr. Gawtrey remained by the fire beating the devil's tattoo upon the chimney-piece, and ever and anon turning his glance towards Lilburne, who seemed to have forgotten his existence. Both these guests stayed till the party broke up; Mr. Gawtrey apparently wishing to outstay Lord Lilburne; for, when the last went down-stairs, Mr.
The late father-confessor tried to outstay his new rival, but in vain; the padre deliberately announced his intention of taking a bed, and the vicar, with a heavy heart, rose to go to his inn. As he went out at the door, he caught an opportunity of saying one word to the convert. 'My poor Luke! and are you happy? Tell me honestly, in God's sight tell me!
