Days of tramping the streets looking for a job brought her at last to an overall factory where she found employment. The foreman had discharged her at the end of the third day. Once she had been engaged at an agency as a servant by a man, but as soon as his wife saw her Nellie was told she would not do. Bitter humiliating experiences had befallen her.
Luckily it was months since the latter had been sharp, or a steel proof overall would have been my only hope. Distances and the supposititious length of tent ropes are inclined to be deceptive in the dark. Nothing will make me believe those ropes were inanimate they literally lay in wait for me each night!
Overall, and the two Convocations which had given their sanction to Overall's teaching, pronounced that a government, which had originated in rebellion, ought, when thoroughly settled, to be considered as ordained by God and to be obeyed by Christian men. Sherlock read, and was convinced. His venerable mother the Church had spoken; and he, with the docility of a child, accepted her decree.
He had called together at the Tuileries the officers of this bourgeois militia, who had responded with numerous vows and bellicose undertakings to the rousing speech which he addressed to them. The Emperor named the Empress as Regent and appointed as overall commander his brother Joseph the ex-King of Spain, the pleasantest but most unsoldierlike of men.
I said dully; "do as you wish" and cared not to what I had agreed. Plunging his hand beneath his white overall, the Chinaman who had been referred to as Li-King-Su calmly produced a pack of cards, unemotionally shuffled them and extended the pack to me.

He laid his hat, cane and overall upon a chair, and from a pocket of his reefer jacket took out a big notebook. "Good morning, sir," he said. "Good morning, Chief Inspector," replied the Assistant Commissioner. "Pray be seated.
Sarah Battle was not more scrupulous than he in observing the rigour of the game. Christian was manacled with the belt of her own overall, and was hauled along the golden, but despised, gravel of the river strand, to the spot whence the stepping-stones started. "I'll do this much for you," said the Eldest Statesman, relaxing a little, "I'll go first and carry the bucket."
Made as a loose frock and overall to be worn in the hay-field, or following the plough, it was well enough; but made into a tight-fitting Sunday-suit, it was not handsome, certainly. As far as "fixings" were concerned, the cousins were a contrast. Betsey looked and laughed again, but Elizabeth did not laugh. She knew that Cousin Betsey was sensitive where Ben was concerned.
Stepping out of the toilet as he was now doing, he posited that such banal and inconsequential movements as this were like copulation with a rife assortment of women, that movement provided men with a base physical consciousness that was indispensable to their overall welfare by making them appear more tangible to themselves than any images in mirrors could do.
He really was a big man and he looked much bigger in his long motoring overall than in his knickerbockers. 'Great Scott! he exclaimed. 'It's you! Do come in. I say, you chaps, he called. 'Here's a bit of luck. A friend of mine, I was introduced, and he towered over me smiling, his great hook nose dividing his face and distracting one's attention from his eyes.
