"If you do, I shall cease to believe you and I like to believe you," she added, with a glance like Saint Theresa leering at heaven. Every time he made her a present there was a fortress to be stormed, a conscience to be over-persuaded. The hapless Baron laid deep stratagems to offer her some trifle costly, nevertheless proud of having at last met with virtue and the realization of his dreams.
Conscience, however, quickly carried me lack to the royal cause, which I again supported a while; and then, being over-persuaded by my neighbors, I came out once more openly for the state, and went for it till the approach of Burgoyne emboldened me to risk another change, and go for my old master. But, being soon taken in arms, I must now untimely perish.
It is the difficulty produced by the loose foundation or the vague scheme that breaks the heart when a luckless fatuity has over-persuaded an author of the "saving" virtue of treatment.
It is almost the only privilege men allow them. I scorn it myself. At school we were warned to be firm when once we had said 'No, thank you. Miss Ella used to say that people who allowed themselves to be over-persuaded and changed their minds lost self-control and became self-indulgent eventually." "Ah, that makes me think of my poor dear mother," said the doctor.
I exceedingly regret that the mother who could feel so finely was some time afterwards over-persuaded to part with the bones of her child. I may here mention that the medical officer of the settlement was in the habit of extracting teeth for the natives, who found the European method much more easy than their own mode of knocking them out.
Perhaps Walter had over-persuaded her. She would know very soon now, for Muriel told her everything. Mrs. Graham she was the Honourable Mrs. Graham, a daughter of the breeder of Jove II. and other famous shorthorns came out of the door leading to the stableyard as Cicely drove up.
Perhaps he did, and was over-persuaded by the cold and savourless nature of Nessy MacLeod, who is giving it out, I hear, that grief and shame for me killed him. People will say he was a vulgar parvenu, a sycophant, a snob heaven knows what. All wrong!
"I 've thought 's it 'll be a nice idea to take her father's cane for a present; it 'll surely come very handy to her, 'f she 's alive a tall, 'n' since Mr. Kimball over-persuaded me into buyin' one o' them patent carpet-beaters, it ain't no manner o' service to me.
She will understand how it began, that Berry over-persuaded you " "What makes you say that?" interrupted Georgie. "I never told you that Berry over-persuaded me." "No; but I knew it all the same. It's a matter of course," said Candace, too deeply in earnest to pick her words, or realize what a very uncomplimentary thing she was saying, "Berry Joy always makes you do whatever she likes.
He even believed that some of the actors in this tragedy were sincere, but had been over-persuaded by Mr. Parris, whom he set down as the prime mover in it all. He sat for a long time, much longer than he supposed, reflecting on the past, and planning for the future, when he was startled by hearing footsteps coming toward him.
