The dining-room." And they began their survey. The dining-room was big, but over-furnished. Chelsea would have moaned aloud. Mr. Wilcox had eschewed those decorative schemes that wince, and relent, and refrain, and achieve beauty by sacrificing comfort and pluck.
The glitter of four thousand francs in cash, and freedom, was too tempting. Thus Sophia became the proprietress of the Pension Frensham in the cold and correct Rue Lord Byron.

His "fearful cemetery" appeared to be full, judging by its burgeoned bulge and the shocking state of depletion exhibited by the buffalo on which he fed with barely inaudible snarls and grunts of satisfaction. Blood dripped from his capacious and over-furnished mouth. "Booful," murmured Damocles. "I shall go shooting tigerth to-mowwow.

He remembered the apartment as ornate and over-furnished, voluble guests coming and going, a great many parties, his mother, elaborately dressed, always hurrying off to meet people in somebody's else house or hurrying home to meet them in her own.
At one of the windows of the over-furnished sitting-room of The Holt, a girl was standing gazing dreamily through the spotted net curtains, with a weary little droop in the lines of the figure which bespoke fatigue, rather mental, than physical.
He crossed the porch, opened the unlocked front door, and led Martie through a large, over-furnished hall and a large, stately drawing room.
