"Ay, but not over-done," cried the seaman, snatching the duck in question from before the blaze and turning its other side for they used no spits in the Nor'-West in those days, but cooked one side at a time nay, even carved off and ate part of the cooked side while the other side was roasting.
But on the whole the impression of artificiality, of something over-studied and over-done which the first sight of her generally awakened, was soon, as a rule, lost in another more attractive in one of light, tripping youth, perfectly satisfied with itself and with the world. 'I don't think you know much about the place, he said quietly, still smiling.
The Courts are not well together; pity for it. My Lord and his Tutor did me the honor to return my visit; the rather as we all quartered in the same Inn. Though I would by no means have it over-done, and am a calmly independent man.
