Nobody liked the meal, but nobody complained; they put a good face upon it, one and all, and made a great clattering of knives and forks. To see Léon eating a single cold sausage was to see a triumph; by the time he had done he had got through as much pantomime as would have sufficed for a baron of beef, and he had the relaxed expression of the over-eaten.
From the way he moved on, I was afraid he had over-eaten himself; he, however, contrived to keep up with our horses. During the night there had not been a breath of wind, but as the sun rose, it began to blow fresh from the east, and soon shifted to the northward, from which quarter a bank of clouds rising rapidly, formed a dark canopy over the sky.
Fareham and the Priest were playing chess at the other end of the long low room, by the light of a single candle. Papillon ran in at the door and ejaculated her disgust at De Malfort's desertion. "Was there ever such laziness? It's bad enough in Georgie to be so idle; but then, he has over-eaten himself." "And how do you know that I haven't over-eaten myself, mistress?" asked De Malfort.

Yet he still pursued the lie, and pretended he had over-eaten himself the day before, and had not recovered his appetite.
Finally, just as mention was being made of a turkey cock, Chichikov fell asleep. Next morning the guest's state of repletion had reached the point of Platon being unable to mount his horse; wherefore the latter was dispatched homeward with one of Pietukh's grooms, and the two guests entered Chichikov's koliaska. Even the dog trotted lazily in the rear; for he, too, had over-eaten himself.
While desiring to do everything, he accomplishes nothing. One day he will scheme to begin a new mode of existence, a new dietary; yet before evening he will have so over-eaten himself as to be unable to speak or do aught but sit staring like an owl. The same with every one." "Quite so," agreed Chichikov with a smile. "'Tis everywhere the same story."
