And she ran to the open window, crying "Hi!" to the driver of a taxi-cab, who, having put down his fares, was just on the point of starting from the door of the small semi-detached house in a South Kensington street, which owned Arthur and Doris Meadows for its master and mistress. The driver turned at her call. "Hi! Stop! You've been over-paid!"
We shall hear no more of genius starving in a garret; of ill-paid or over-paid ministers of the gospel; of privileged and unprivileged sects.
If it may have been already done by some neglected scribe, bring it to the light, and let us see the bright example set to all future ages by that early Crichton; if never yet accomplished, my zeal is over-paid should the hint be ever acted on; and if, which is still possible, an English version of the life of Alfred should be positively rife and common among the reading public, your humble ignoramus has nothing for it but to pray pardon of its author for not having known him, and to walk softly with the world for writing so much before he reads.
Miss Abingdon's large staff of servants, all elderly and all over-paid, combined with their mistress to welcome Miss Erskine back. The familiar rooms had never looked more pleasant than on this bleak December afternoon. A big tea-table was set by the fire, and the massive silver upon it winked delightedly at the newly arrived guest.
It is the writer's judgment, on the other hand, that for their own good it is as important that workmen should not be very much over-paid, as it is that they should not be under-paid. If over-paid, many will work irregularly and tend to become more or less shiftless, extravagant, arid dissipated. It does not do for most men to get rich too fast.
The one man was paid over-paid, apparently, from his thankfulness and she turned to John Halifax. "I regret, young man, that you should have had so much trouble. Here is some requital." He took the money, selected from it one silver coin, and returned the rest. "I will keep this, madam, if you please, as a memento that I once had the honour of being useful to Mrs. Siddons."
And don't let us give way to the vulgar prejudice, that clergymen are an over-paid and luxurious body of men. From reading the works of some modern writers of repute, you would fancy that a parson's life was passed in gorging himself with plum-pudding and port-wine; and that his Reverence's fat chaps were always greasy with the crackling of tithe pigs.
Total am't of collections credited,.....9,547,86 Leaving balance over-paid by him, .... $8,659,87 The trustees then gave Mr. Crane a bond for this balance, and a lease on the building, until this debt, with interest on it, could be paid.

He put out his hand for the shattered cluster of roses that lay in Cynthia's lap. 'At any rate, said he, 'my trouble if Mrs. Gibson considers it has been a trouble to me will be over-paid, if I may have this. 'Old lamps for new, said Cynthia, smiling as she gave it to him. 'I wish one could always buy nosegays such as you have brought us, as cheaply.
