Outside the door of the tent Hermon was trying to banish Althea's image from his mind. How foolishly he had overestimated last night the value of this miserable actress, who as a woman had lost all charm for him even as a model for his Arachne! He would rather have appeared before his pure friend with unsightly stains on his robe than while mastered by yearning for the Thracian.
"She came tearing down to the mill, bare-backed on our half-broken mustang, about half an hour ago, to call me 'to help you," explained Bradley. "Heaven knows how she managed to do it!" The medication of the woods was not overestimated by Bradley.
"He talks to them plainly, does he, so that they understand? I say to you, Brice," he went on earnestly, "the importance of plain talk can't be overestimated. Any thought, however abstruse, can be put in speech that a boy or a negro can grasp. Any book, however deep, can be written in terms that everybody can comprehend, if a man only tries hard enough.
The subject of a naval volunteer force had been agitated for several years, but it was not until the latter part of June, 1891, that the first enlistments were made.

The undeniable position which she holds must appear doubly remarkable when the Mohammedan official attitude toward women is borne in mind. Miss Bell has worked steadily and without a leave in this trying climate, and her tact and judgment have contributed to the British success to a degree that can scarcely be overestimated. The headquarters of the various batteries were in Baghdad.
It was a beautiful and timely "experiment" not on the programme, and, to use the words of one who was present, "It was just the sort of thing to please Peter Cooper to the bottom of his soul." The great hall was dedicated from the beginning to free speech. Peter Cooper may have overestimated the value of mere talk.
His idea was to take the wave head-on and with his engines full speed ahead. And all the while he was thanking heaven he was not in the jam of traffic in the main canal. He rather, I think, overestimated the probable rush of waters; he dreaded being swept away, he explains, and smashed against houses and trees.
Of course I may be mistaken, but either I overestimated her devotion before they were married, or she cares less for him now." An expression of pain contracted Helen's brow. "Isn't it possible," she suggested, "that her being more demonstrative in her love for the boy makes her seem cold toward her husband?" "No," returned Edith, shaking her head, "it is more than that.
