The reputed mother came over with some emigrants sent by the King, and as a widow she married Jean Arlac. He, it seems, was much disappointed at not having children of his own and was not over-cordial to the little girl. Rather more than a year ago his wife was taken ill, she had never been robust.
After turning our horses to grass, at his invitation we joined him at supper. The allowance, though ample for one, was rather short for three, and I thought the Spanish grandiloquent politeness of Gomez, who was fat and old, was not over-cordial. However, down we sat, and I was helped to a dish of rabbit, with what I thought to be an abundant sauce of tomato.
Siner shouted from across the street two or three times before he caught Tump's attention. The ex-soldier looked around, sobered abruptly. "Whut-chu want, nigger?" His inquiry was not over-cordial. Peter nodded him across the street. The heavily built black in khaki hesitated a moment, then started across the street with the dragging feet of a reluctant negro. Peter looked at him as he came up.
He was totally unlike what she had been led to expect, and she felt a sort of resentment toward her family for misleading her. He was a gentleman, on the surface at least. He had not been over-cordial at first, but then who could have expected cordiality under the circumstances? In Lily's defense it should be said that the vicissitudes of Elinor's life with Doyle had been kept from her always.
Brewster welcomed her cousin with frank relief. "I have waited so impatiently for you," she confessed, making room for him to sit on the sofa by her side. "I was detained, Margaret." Stone's voice was not over-cordial; three imperative telephone calls from her, coming at a moment when he had been engaged with a serious case in his office, had provoked him. "Do you wish to see me professionally?"
It was quite against his desire that Floyd extended an invitation to Jasper Wilmarth, but he felt he could not do otherwise. He does not mean to be over-cordial with his brother-in-law in the matter of hospitalities. Wilmarth is proud of this victory, because he knows it cost Floyd Grandon something. He is glad, too, of an opportunity of becoming better acquainted with Mrs. Grandon.

"Hm-m; no," returned Mrs. Pendergast, with noncommittal briefness. Not six weeks later Mary, in her beautiful Commonwealth Avenue home, received a call from a little, thin-faced woman, who curtsied to the butler and asked him to please tell her sister that she wished to speak to her. Mary looked worried and not over-cordial when she rustled into the room.
Dundee commanded in a harsh whisper. No time for coddling these people now! Dexter Sprague's face took on a yellower tinge, but he obeyed. "Greetings!" he called in the jaunty, over-cordial tones of a man who knows himself not too welcome. "Where's Nita and everybody? Isn't that the cocktail shaker I hear?"
The company doesn't interfere with the men," etc. The third vice-president could make these announcements as judiciously as the great Porter. "I have an idea," continued Sommers, "that Porter might not want me; he has never been over-cordial." "Nonsense!" replied the busy doctor. "Porter will take any one I advise him to. All expenses and a thousand dollars very good pay." "Is Porter very ill?"
