There's rather more sickness in the out-villages than I care for, but then I'm so blistered with prickly-heat that I'm ready to hang myself. What's the yarn about your mashing a Miss Haverley up there? Not serious, I hope? You're over-young to hang millstones round your neck, and the Colonel will turf you out of that in double-quick time if you attempt it.
As for me, I am over-young to break my neck and be left on the mountain-side to fatten crows. I shall follow at my leisure." "Gesu!" he cried, through chattering teeth. "Are you a coward, then?" The taunt would have angered me had his condition been other than it was; but coming from one so possessed of the devil of terror, it did no more than provoke my mirth.

He is a good youth, and is working himself to a shadow between studying and teaching; but as to sending him alone to bring Berry's wife back, he was over-young for that. No one could do that fitly save myself, and I only wish I had gone three years ago, to keep you two foolish lads out of harm's way. But they set up an unheard-of hubbub, and made sure I should lose myself.
Although he did not say so, I think Sir Francis thought that we were over-young for such rough work, and would be more useful in a year's time; for, you see, in these sieges even pages have to take their share in the fighting, and when it comes to push of pike with the Spaniards more strength and vigour are needed than we possess at present.
Unconscious of the wild excitement in the breast of the small boy on the seat, the old man paused to take breath for the next flight. "Have you got such a thing as a as a match about you?" said Henry, trying to speak calmly, but failing. "You're over-young to smoke," said the old man, turning round and regarding him.
How should I know?" The silk was hopelessly knotted and twisted about the tiny pearl she had just threaded, requiring close attention; Madama di Thénouris also seemed to watch her work with interest. "Thou art right, my child, thou art over-young to have any knowledge of so despicable an intrigue.

Now in a while, Sir Fidelis, riding ever at his elbow, ventured speech with him: "Art very silent, messire. Have I angered thee, forsooth? Is aught amiss betwixt us?" Quoth Beltane, shortly: "Art over-young, sir knight, and therefore fond and foolish. Is a man a lover of self because he hateth dishonour? Art a presumptuous youth and that's amiss!"
"Take care, Lumpy," cried the boy, "I'm wery tender, like an over-young chicken. You'd better set me down before I comes in pieces." "Why, Stiver, you're the very man I was thinkin' of," said Lumpy, setting the boy on the edge of the pier, and sitting down beside him. Stiver looked proud, and felt six inches taller.
