But this no longer appeared so true to him. It was not a condition of Westover's welcome at Lion's Head that he should seem peculiarly the friend of Jeff Durgin, but he could not help making it so, and he began to overact the part as soon as he met Jeff's mother.
Eveena's momentary glance at once drew mine upon this "pet child," but neither disturbed her. Nor did she overact her part. "Eivé," said Enva one day, "never salts her tears or paints her blushes." As soon as she caught my look of doubt "Have I done wrong?" she said, in a tone half of confidence, half of reproach. "Punish me, then, Clasfempta, as you please with Eveena's sandal."
Did we not see him among us at that very hour?" "That is true," cried I. "He must have forgotten it." "It often happens, to people of this description, that they overact their parts; and, by aiming at too much, mar the effects which a well-managed deception is calculated to produce." "I cannot, however, yet prevail on myself to look upon the whole as a mere preconcerted scheme.

"I'm afraid," she said, as the car rolled down the drive, "that like most men you're rather prone to overact." With a little, happy laugh she snuggled up to him and slid her hand into his under the rug. "I shall be walking home, thank you, Thomas," said Joan as she got out of the car, and the man stood waiting for orders.
He is told it is. My friend was apt to overact his part. I had often occasion to ask him to be less positive. "Ah," says he, "I shall be delighted to see the doctor. Five years ago I was scalped on the Plains, and now" exhibiting a well-covered head "you see what the doctor did for me. 'T isn't any wonder I've come fifty miles to see him. Any of you been scalped, gentlemen?"
Drew play Mrs. Malaprop, and it was a lesson to people who overact. Her daughter, Georgie Drew, Ethel Barrymore's mother, was also a charming actress. Maurice Barrymore was a brilliantly clever actor. Little Ethel, as I still call her, though she is a big "star," is carrying on the family traditions. She ought to play Lady Teazle. She may take it from me that she would make a success in it.
If they are bent on acting in a certain way they have to reconceive the environment, they have to censor out, to rationalize. But if in their presence, there is an insistent fact which is so obtrusive that they cannot explain it away, one of three courses is open. They can perversely ignore it, though they will cripple themselves in the process, will overact their part and come to grief.
Let me see it," returned Duncan, taking the knife from the woman's hand, and examining it with cool and critical deliberation. "No," continued he, "it iss not mine, but very like one that I lost so like that I felt sure at first it wass mine." Men who lie, usually overact their part.
"Perfectly unnecessary, I should think," replied Fleetwood, almost laughing at the mid's pretended simplicity, which, having held the same irresponsible rank himself, he could fully appreciate. "You may overact your part." "No fear, sir I'll be decorous in the extreme, and if you don't see me again, suppose all goes right; I'll get shut up in Miss Garden's tower, if I possibly can."
