Overloading, indifferent march discipline and horsemastership, night marches without previously watering and feeding the horses, reduced Lord Roberts' mounted troops to but a fraction of their nominal strength; and raised a question whether French, whose military capacity was undeniable, might not be more usefully employed in infantry operations.
In her efforts to surpass these brilliant young rivals in all respects, she laid herself open to criticism by departing somewhat from the severe and classic school of delivery which had always distinguished her, and overloading her singing with ornament.
The familiar little leather-curtained wagon was just ahead of us, bearing the other three Harpers, the old negro driver and to complete its overloading his daughter, Charlotte's dark maid. Beside the wheels ambled and babbled Harry Helm. At the bridge he fell back to us and found us talking of Charlotte.
The star-whorled, fan-spread branches droop under the soft wreaths droop and press flatly to the trunk; presently the point of overloading is reached, there is a soft sough and muffled drooping, the boughs recover, and the weighting goes on until the drifts have reached the midmost whorls and covered up the branches.
Poor Mrs Bolton, when she had got all her children with her, cried out for her husband, but the necessary rule was adhered to. "He will come next trip, when you are all landed," said Harry. Though anxious to take off as many as the boat could carry, Harry, afraid of overloading her, at length resolved to take no more. The passage to the shore, though short, was full of danger.
We turned the others and cantered ahead to get a boat; reached the bridge once more and crossed into Albania. Officials ran from all sides to stop us, but we ignored them, dismounted, and ran to the side of the river where boats were loading, overloading with passengers. The boatmen refused to take us if we had no passes from the governor.
"The pest of society is egotism. This goitre of egotism is so frequent among notable persons that we must infer some strong necessity in nature which it subserves; such as we see in the sexual attraction. The preservation of the species was a point of such necessity that Nature has secured it at all hazards by immensely overloading the passion, at the risk of perpetual crime and disorder.
He had accepted the idea of an Absolute God. A personal, sympathizing, benevolent Providence was in his opinion one of the illusions of the theologic stage of human development. Things happened by inexorable law, he said. And in the drowning of Katy he saw only the overloading of a boat and the inevitable action of water upon the vital organs of the human system.
The galloway was, by good fortune, easily caught, and Brown made some apology for overloading the animal. " Deil a fear, man," answered the proprietor, "Dumple could carry six folk if his back was lang eneugh but God's sake, haste ye, get on, for I see some folk coming through the slack yonder, that it may be just as weel no to wait for."
But the sudden inundation of science and sentiment which has made the mind of the nineteenth century so confused, by overloading us with materials and breaking up our habits of apperception and our ideals, has led to an exclusive sense of the value of expressiveness, until this has been almost identified with beauty.
