Lady Angora was not over-pleased at this arrangement, and assumed a haughty air when the Tortoshells came; but being naturally of a warm-hearted disposition, she quickly became attached to the elder daughter Minnie, though it must be confessed she showed no great partiality for the mamma. The son also, Young Tom as he was called, to distinguish him from his father, won the good opinion of Mr.
Carvel, who liked not to be balked in any matter, and was not over-pleased at this reference to my father. And he gave Philip forthwith another pistole, telling his father to add the first to his saving if he would. "And Richard must have his chance," says my Aunt Caroline, sweetly, as she rises to leave the room. "Ay, here is a crown for you, Richard," says my uncle, smiling.
"We went on in this way till nearly four o'clock, when what should we hear coming along the road but a buggy, and who should be in that buggy but Gerard Malcolm with an actressy-looking girl! I wasn't over-pleased at the girl part of it, but it did my heart good to see Gerard.
He had not far to look for already the animals that were making the noise were close up to him; and he perceived they were nothing more than a troop of quaggas. He was not over-pleased at this interruption to his drive; and the less did he like it, that the intruders were quaggas ill-conditioned brutes that they were!
Yes, she did that, and in a little while came Big Peter with an axe in his hand, and crept up to the bedside, and at one blow chopped off his mother's head.

The Sheriff will not be over-pleased to hear that you pay mother's dower in this way.
Another somber nod. "I don't believe it," said Jimmy. "I wish I didn't," said his lordship wistfully, ignoring the slight rudeness of the remark. "But, worse luck, it's true." For the first time since the disclosure of the name, Jimmy's attention was directed to the remarkable demeanor of his successful rival. "You don't seem over-pleased," he said. "Pleased!
Brown told her 't if he hadn't been so busy plantin' his garden to-day he certainly would 'a' felt 't it 'd 'a' been nothin' but right to diagnose you all over. Mrs. Macy says she ain't none too over-pleased 't the way he spoke, for, to her order o' thinkin', you had a pretty serious kick 'n' you'd ought to realize it.

Madame de Mouchy, the superintendent's lady, said the mother was blest who had such a son, and wrote a complimentary letter to Madam Esmond upon Mr. George's behaviour. I fear, Mr. Whitfield would not have been over-pleased with the widow's elation on hearing of her son's prowess.
Perhaps some of our conventional sins are of a like sort. Pilate was, probably, not over-pleased at being roused so early, nor at having to defer to a scruple which would to him look like insolence; and through all his bearing to the Sanhedrim a certain irritation shows itself, which sometimes flashes out in sarcasm, but is for the most part kept down.
