He shaved, took a cold bath, dressed and went out. "We've come to fetch you. Your lessive lasted a good time today," said Petritsky. "Well, is it over?" "It is over," answered Vronsky, smiling with his eyes only, and twirling the tips of his mustaches as circumspectly as though after the perfect order into which his affairs had been brought any over-bold or rapid movement might disturb it.
We had, however, not enough men that night to make sure that should the enemy try to escape they would not succeed. Forsooth, we were greatly surprised to find them still there the following morning. It seemed to us a little over-bold on their part to stay on with only two Maxims at their command.
Whatever happened, that individual must be kept in ignorance of the fact that his treachery was so strongly suspected as to be almost a certainty, otherwise he would be on his guard; and it was Frobisher's intention, if Admiral Ting agreed, to leave the man in ignorance of the suspicions he had aroused, until he should grow careless and over-bold, and then to pounce suddenly upon him and catch him red-handed.

Ludlow looked across the bed of roses which filled two-thirds of the table, across the glitter of glass, and the waver of light and shadow, and said, "Oh, you're there!"

He thought that they would begin very brilliantly and end with a compromise, heart-breaking at first and soon lived down.

Yet once and again it hath been in my mind that it was thy sister who stole me from them that loved me. Hah, thrall! said the lady, thou art bold; thou art over-bold, thou naked wretch, to bandy words with me.
"You have spoken of me, then?" "I ventured to speak of you. I am not over-bold, as you know." Her lovely eyes troubled the lids to hide their softness. "Papa should not think of my presence with him dubiously." "He leaves it to you to decide." "Yes, then: many times: all that can be uttered." "Do you consider what you are saying?" "Mr. Whitford, I shut my eyes and say Yes." "Beware.
He had been ever bold and self-asserting; but now he was perhaps a little over-bold. But through it all the Australian letter and the Australian woman were present to him day and night.
