His over-fond aunt looked at him a little uneasily he was so unlike himself, and presently drew him aside, after dinner, and spoke. "Victor what is the matter? Are you ill?" "Ill? No. My dear aunt," smiling, "don't wear that alarmed face there is nothing the matter with me." "There is something the matter with you. You are pale, you are silent, you eat nothing. Victor, what is it?"
Five hundred or so. And a tricky bunch they are. They're over-fond of cattle to be really desirable neighbors." "Well, I think it rather a pity!" "Look yonder!" cried her husband, sweeping his arm toward the eastern horizon. From the height on which they stood a wonderful panorama of hill and valley, river, lake and plain lay spread out before them.
"She's quite well, and as pretty and as good as ever." "Well, Tom, my boy, you stood by your father when he was in trouble, and now he'll stand by you. How does your mother treat you?" "We get on pretty well not over-fond of each other."
I asked them if I should open the shutters; but one of them said they didn't care; he said he was never over-fond of books." Mrs. Stanley and Harry here exchanged looks of some surprise. "Did they talk much to each other? do you remember what they said?" continued Harry. "Yes, they talked considerable. I reckon they had been here before, for they seemed to know a good deal about the house.
You've sent that doctor chap about his business, haven't you?" "He has gone, yes." She answered him briefly to hide the intolerable pain at her heart the words called up. "But you're still hankering after him; is that it?" sneered Hunt-Goring. "Well, then, listen to me! I hold that man's future in my hands. I can ruin him utterly or I can forbear. I'm not over-fond of him, as you know.
Come, now, I am going to be strong-minded. Let us go in. I am a little tired, I think." "Perhaps the funeral was later than he thought," said the boy. "Perhaps. It was very kind of papa to go. He does not like things of that kind; and he was not over-fond of Mr. Warrender, who, though he was very good, was a little dull. Papa doesn't like dull people." "No. Do you like Theo Warrender, mamma?"
Just at this moment he was of opinion that Isabel Boncassen would be the sweeter companion of the two. He had sauntered down to the place where they were dancing and stood by, saying a few words to Mrs. Boncassen. "Why are you not dancing, my Lord?" she asked. "There are enough without me." "I guess you young aristocrats are never over-fond of doing much with your own arms and legs."
Flexen had a strong impression that Colonel Grey was unused to being as expansive as this, that he was talking for talking's sake, possibly to put him off asking some question which would be difficult or dangerous to answer. He could not for the life of him think what that question could be. "I daresay you're right," he said carelessly. "Bullies aren't over-fond of a real scrap.
Very little is really known of his wife, beyond the facts that she was petite, over-fond, hot-tempered, obstinate, and a poor speller. In 1778 she was described as "a sociable, pretty kind of woman," and she seems to have been but little more.
We have fallen too far behind it at Silverdale, and a crisis is coming that none of us are prepared for. Even Dane is scarcely fitted to help my brother to face it, and the rest are either over-fond of their pleasure or untrained boys.
