I know no spot on the surface of this earth, of all that I have visited, and I have been in many climes, that struck me as less salubrious than you bit o' trench. There were too many other visitors there that day, along with the Reverend Harry Lauder, M.P., Tour. They were braw laddies, yo, but no what you might call over-particular about the company they kept!
Making an inquiry or two about him in the town, I soon heard what company he was in and was coming among the brick-fields to look for him when I observed you bringing him home here." "Had he committed any crime?" I asked. "None was charged against him," said Mr. Bucket, coolly lifting off his hat, "but I suppose he wasn't over-particular. No.
"Doin' a bit o' work, Master Frank," she said. "Yes, a little," he replied. "Well, that's better than mopin' about doing nothing," was the not over-particular rejoinder. Frank smiled. "Well," he said, "a fellow must do something when he can, but there are times when he cannot." "Perhaps," said Marie, rather absent-mindedly, as if she had not understood the meaning of his words.
Bad things happen to all of us, of course; but we mustn't mind that not to be petty or quarrelsome, or hidebound or prudish or over-particular, that's the point. To leave other people alone, except on the rare occasions when they are not letting other people alone; to be peaceable, and yet not to be afraid; not to be hurt and vexed; to practise forgetting; not to want to pouch things!

Jane hadn't been down here five minutes before she began to "slick up," as she called it and she's been "slickin' up" ever since.
"Well," said-Catharine, "as you have told me such a nice story, Mister Hec, I shall forgive the affront about my curls."

Why should not we be able to find subsistence as well as the wild Indians?"
The entire length of the Route Mandarine may now be traversed by auto-bus an excellent way to see the country provided you are inured to fatigue, do not mind the heat, and are not over-particular as to your fellow passengers. A motor car is, of course, more comfortable and more expensive; a small one can be rented for ninety dollars a day.
It was on the afternoon of the second day that I told him that if he would now trim up and round off the corners a little I thought I might be able to pass under it without butting my remaining brains out. You never saw a man so relieved. I think he considered me over-particular about a small matter.
"Well, you see," continued Béla, in the same suave and unctuous tones which he had suddenly assumed, "since pretty Klara is fond of jollification and a bit of fun, and her father is over-particular, why, that's where this nice little key comes in.
Besides, from Liverpool you would have a clean bill of health, and if they found it out, they would not say much; they're not over-particular, I've a notion." "What are those vessels lying inshore?"
