Next from behind the mirror he produced a diminutive coffee pot into which he measured, with extreme care, just so much of the ground berry, being rather over-nice about his demitasse.
Slovenly enunciation is certainly very dreadful, but the unregenerate may be pardoned if they prefer it to the affected mouthing which some over-nice people without due sense of values expend on every syllable which is so unlucky as to fall between their teeth. Next I would urge avoidance of a fault very common with those who speak much in large rooms, the mistaken effort at loudness.
* We cannot forbear observing in this place, that the Lady has been particularly censured, even by some of her own sex, as over-nice in her part of the above conversations: but surely this must be owing to want of attention to the circumstances she was in, and to her character, as well as to the character of the man she had to deal with: for, although she could not be supposed to know so much of his designs as the reader does by means of his letters to Belford, yet she was but too well convinced of his faulty morals, and of the necessity there was, from the whole of his behaviour to her, to keep such an encroacher, as she frequently calls him, at a distance.
Not very tempting to an ordinary appetite was the display inside, nor agreeable to the nostrils the odors that filled the atmosphere. But hunger like the swines', that was not over-nice, satisfied itself amid these disgusting conglomerations, and kept off starvation.
She was a fragile, tender sort of woman, while the father was doubtless a dapper, over-nice little fellow. Anthony was born in Antwerp, and the facts concerning his education, as in the case of most artists, are lost to our knowledge.

'Well, as it happens, Senor Larralde, I have not got your letter, and if I had I am not quite sure that I would give it to you. Your conduct in the matter has not been over-nice, and, to tell you the truth, I don't think much of a man who gets strangers and women to do his dirty work for him. Larralde stroked his moustache with a half-furtive air of contempt.

"They would gain entrance into the place of the blest the bosom of Osiris but they are not sufficient for the over-nice nobility of Egypt," the scribe averred promptly.
This, too, is exclusive of my ordinary expenses during the campaign, all of which, being added to my loss of time and business, bears pretty heavily upon one no better off than I am. But as I had the post of honor, it is not for me to be over-nice. You are feeling badly. And this, too, shall pass away; never fear. Yours as ever, A. LINCOLN. Hon.
