As for his daughter, however much she might appear to have been overdressed in the morning, she was now simple in her attire as a little shepherdesses plain white muslin frock, white sash, white shoes, white gloves, pearl ear rings and necklace, and a simple, but most beautiful, camilla japonica in her hair.
At last she gathered up courage and darted past the sentinel. John stared in amazement. Two packages and three letters two hugs and three kisses what was there in that overdressed little doll to merit such favor? Correspondence became fast and furious. Eventually the postmaster called John forward and whispered a name in his ear before he went into the alcove.
Was this stupid system, so cruel, so crushing, and producing at the top such absurd results as flashy, insolent autos and silly palaces and overfed, overdressed women, and dogs in jeweled collars, and babies of wealth brought up by low menials was this system really the best? "If they'd stop canting about 'honest work' they might begin to get somewhere."
If they were a little short in the body, and not very generously proportioned in the matter of train, there was no rival establishment to sneer, and Miss Chickie had it all her own way; and, at least, it could never be said that Slowbridge was vulgar or overdressed.

The Colonel was blustering and storming, the great bulk of him towering above the wizened little overdressed figure of the Governor. But the little fop was not to be browbeaten. His excellency was conscious that he had behind him the force of public opinion to support him.
Then as an overdressed, florid woman, with high bullhead fringe and old-fashioned Spanish farthingale, quickly obeyed his behests, he said with a coarse laugh: "Fresh cards may break Master Segrave's luck and improve yours, Sir Michael."
The Walkers have no other children; but when she takes her airing in the Park she always turns away at the sight of a low phaeton, in which sits a woman with rouged cheeks, and a great number of overdressed children and a French bonne, whose name, I am given to understand, is Madame Dolores de Tras-os-Montes.
