'You look excited, my dear Mary, she said 'a little overexcited, perhaps. Have you had tea? No? Perhaps you will be so kind as to ring the bell, Mr. Conneally. Mary O'Dwyer repeated the information she had given Hyacinth about her sleepless night, and complimented Augusta Goold on her nerve.
As it was, his strongest fears and his dearest hopes were alike interested in telling her the fatal lie that he had now told the fatal lie which he reiterated when she put her question for the second time. She looked at him, deceived by the last man on earth whom she would have suspected of deception the man whom she had deceived herself. "You seem to be overexcited," she said quietly.
"It's fifteen I'll be my next birthday, darling. Well, and is there anything wrong about fifteen? I always thought it was a jewel of an age." "Yes, but this dress is long; why, there's a train to it!" "Oh, mercy me! so there is," said Kitty. "To tell you the truth, I never even tried on the skirt, I was so bamboozled and overexcited with the others. A train to be sure!
So Priscilla calmed herself by a day of strenuous shopping and looked forward to the evening with Boswell. A dim drizzle set in late in the afternoon, and there was a chill in the air that penetrated sharply. The mist transformed everything, and, to tired, overexcited nerves, the real had a touch of the unreal.
What an extraordinary spectacle, seen from the interior of our skulls! A throng of phantoms rising from our overexcited brains: Justice, Liberty, Right, Country.... Our poor brains are all equally honest, but each accuses the other of insincerity.
"This 'ere's getting kind o' thick!" The weather also was getting thicker, and all three of the racers were shortly under a prudent necessity for reducing their excessive spreads of canvas. The first mate of the Goshhawk had even been compelled to expostulate with his overexcited skipper. "Some of it's got to come down, sir," he asserted. "If we was to lose a spar, we're gone, sure as guns!"
Mary did not allow her real soreness to appear, but heroically went through her sufferings, for she told me afterwards she felt very severe pains all over, doubtless her whole nervous system had been overexcited, and this was the natural reaction; it was so far fortunate that not a shadow of a chance of our having fresh connection occurred, so she had time to perfectly recover from the ill effects of her first initiation into the erotic raptures.
If a man's brain be overexcited it abstracts blood from his viscera and stops digestion; or digestion, actively going on, so affects the circulation through the brain as to cause drowsiness; or great muscular exertion determines such a quantity of blood to the limbs as to arrest digestion or cerebral action, as the case may be.
"Don't, dear," she begged. "You know you're only talking just because it is nice to make-believe. I like to hear you, too; but what is the use when it's ONLY make-believe? You know what father's health really is; you know how nervous he is. Doctor Powers told me he must not be overexcited or or dreadful things might happen. You saw him at that horrid seance thing." He shrugged.
"You think him likely to win this infamous suit, then?" he faltered. "Did not you guard against the possibility by securing the brother? More worth while to do it with this man. Hark ye! the politics of private are like those of public life, when the state can't crush a demagogue, it should entice him over. I must go and lie down I have overexcited myself."
