I was coming out to see you first thing tomorrow morning." "Then you know? She told you?" "She told me something." He smiled. "She must have been a little overanxious. You don't look as if there was very much the matter with you." "But there isn't. It isn't me." "Who is it then?" "My other sister." "Oh. I seem to have got a little mixed." "You see, there are three of us." He laughed. "Three!
The greater trouble lies in improper application and inattention to details. Trifles make up the sum of life, as cents make dollars. An overanxious man, he who makes great haste to be rich, seldom prospers long in any undertaking. Possibilities, not probabilities, should be the guide. A sanguine disposition may or may not be useful in business. Disappointment often follows sanguine hopes.
Overeager to emphasize her realization of the change in her relationship to Joan, overanxious to let it be seen at once that she was merely an affectionate and interested visitor and not a mother with a budget of suggestions and corrections and rearrangements, Mrs. Harley added to the complication.
He had not gone more than a score of swinging strides, keeping the bristling dog close beside him, when he heard the staccato crack of a rifle, and simultaneously the high-pitched whine of a bullet past his head. Once before, in the Maine woods, he had been an unwilling target, on that occasion for an overanxious deer hunter.

As they moved off, their voices grew fainter in the ears of the listeners beneath the dock and soon were lost in the distance.
You see we all of us suspect so many things." She did not answer, for she had said all she had to say and she was afraid that her strength would not carry her further. She began to walk away, but he called her back. "Oh, how do you think your mother is today?" he asked. "Do you know, her condition seems to me quite serious at times. I wonder if you are overanxious?" "She is better much better!"
Louis. I was fearful that he would change his mind about taking me with him. I didn't know him then so well as afterward. I came to learn that his slightest word was his bond. But visions of Mr. Drake, an old negro woman and a hornet's nest, still haunted me and made me overanxious. I wanted to get as far out of their reach as possible and still remain on the earth. Mr.

He chose the line that seemed the least open to argument. He spoke at last, evenly, unwilling alike to seem incredulous or overanxious, his big steady hand closing warmly over her twitching fingers.
It might be thought that he was overburdened with self- esteem, and unduly opinionated; but, in fact, he was but overanxious to secure the good-will and agreement of all with whom he came in contact.
