"But he says tha' mun do 'em gentle at first an' be careful not to tire thysel'. Rest in between times an' take deep breaths an' don't overdo." "I'll be careful," said Colin. "Show me! Show me! Dickon, you are the most Magic boy in the world!" Dickon stood up on the grass and slowly went through a carefully practical but simple series of muscle exercises. Colin watched them with widening eyes.
She did not overdo the matter. She allowed silences to fall in which her taciturn listener might digest the food she had offered his family pride and ambition. She talked of other matters, and was just making a reference to the judge's gift to his niece of the rowboat, when Benny steered in toward the mill, and dropped his sail at the nearest spot which at this tide was practicable.
Ellins ain't a great hand to overdo irrigation, he's no guide to the Great Desert. There was silver ice buckets on the floor, and J. Dudley Simms lost a side bet to Professor Leonidas Barr on namin' the vintage. He was five years too young. Not until coffee had been served did Old Hickory give any hint that this was to be a regular celebration, with post-prandial doin's.
If there was any check upon the testimony of this depraved creature, it existed only in some prudential instinct, suggesting to him that even in such cases as these a witness might possibly overdo his work, and perhaps in a caution or two given him in a private and confidential manner by some of the managers of the prosecution.
In such cases one was almost sure to overdo...But Anna seemed to notice nothing unusual. "Was she really? You must tell me all about it tell me exactly how she struck you. I'm so glad it turns out that you know her." "'Know' is rather exaggerated: we used to pass each other on the stairs."
I beg your honour's pardon I would not doubt your word; and to make matters sure, and to make Catty cockahoop, I tould her, and swore to her, there was not a McBride in the town but two, and there's twinty, more or less. O'Bla. And when she sees them twinty, more or less, what will she think? Why would you say that? she might find you out in a lie next minute, Mr. Overdo.
She didn't overdo the thing much; only held out her hand with a slightly pleading air as though half afraid it would be refused. And it was a curious thing to see that pretty, delicate featured, schooled face of hers naïvely drawn in lines of emotion like a bisque doll registering grief. Gilbert took the hand, shook it, and looked around with the evident intention of presenting me.
Bucket says to me, as well as she could speak on account of the sheet, 'Bucket, I can! And she has acted up to it glorious!" "Lies!" mademoiselle interposes. "All lies, my friend!" "Sir Leicester Dedlock, Baronet, how did my calculations come out under these circumstances? When I calculated that this impetuous young woman would overdo it in new directions, was I wrong or right? I was right.
McFeckless and my poor old mother were the only ones with any real rank and position but you know what a beastly bounder Mac was, and the poor mater DID overdo the youthful! We never called the doctor in until the day she wanted to go to a swell ball in London as Little Red Riding-hood.
Milton, like Wordsworth, urged his theory of parsimony farther in practice than he would have done, had he not been possessed by a spirit of protest against prevailing error. Milton's own ideal was the chiselled austerity of Greek tragedy. Bat he was impelled to overdo the system of holding back, by his desire to challenge the evil spirit which was abroad.
