Then she hated to see me eating with my knife. Well, there it was, pick and nag everlasting. But I s'pose, Anne, to be fair, I was cantankerous too. I didn't try to improve as I might have done . . . I just got cranky and disagreeable when she found fault. I told her one day she hadn't complained of my grammar when I proposed to her. It wasn't an overly tactful thing to say.
As you dispose of those cinnamon buns you forget that Bessie's voice is a trifle too high and too sweet, and that she is inclined to be at times a bit overly religious and too watchful of what she calls "vice" in people. Over in front of the hotel Seth Curtis is standing up in his wagon and sawing his horses' mouths cruelly.
These six months of silence and thought changed his disposition. He grew older in spirit. He acquired a habit of silence he never outgrew; of introspective reflection, such as the old have who sit silently in the chimney corner. In early March, he received word of the death of his mother. He was not surprised, and, though he loved her very much, was not overly grieved by it.
Droop nodded slowly and compressed his lips. "Well, I want to know!" she exclaimed, helplessly. "Oh, I know you ain't overly rich right now," said Droop, apologetically; "but it warn't no secret thet ye might hev hed Joe Chandler ef ye hadn't ben so shifty in yer mind an' fell betwixt two stools an' Lord knows Joe Chandler was as rich as as Peter Craigin down to Keene pretty nigh."
The fellow did not seem to be overly anxious to keep his watchfulness a secret. He acted like any first cabin passenger on the ship. But, somehow, he managed to keep Ned in view most of the time. Now and then he was caught watching the door of Ned's stateroom. He never spoke to the boy, and never even looked at him when the two passed one another.
"They's a split in that upper rock, fur back, we c'n run a bit o' pipe through. Leastways, they was when Ah was a kid." "'N 's they ain' been no con-vulsion o' nature since that happy time, you 'low hit's still there." "May be filled up; 'twan' overly big. But that's easy fixed." "Say, Pink, don' you think we'd make any money jus' as much money 'f we paid the tax, 'n could retail openly?"
I am by no means sentimental or easily moved, nor am I overly superstitious; but I have encountered one or two things in the course of my life which cannot be explained by rule and line. Throwing off my sudden strange mood, I told Verestshagin that his morbid fancies were due to his still feverish condition, and the depressing effect of over-doses of sulphate of quinine.
"Do you consider it degrading for the aristocracy?" Kollomietzev asked. Solomin smiled his habitual broad smile. "Oh dear no! What is there degrading about it? And even if there were, I don't think the aristocracy would be overly particular." "What do you mean?" "I only meant," Solomin continued, calmly, "that the gentry are not used to that kind of business.
Upon this important concern I reflected, as I may say, in the watches of the night; and, considering the circumstances of my situation, I saw it would not do for me to look out for an overly young woman, nor yet would it do for one of my ways to take an elderly maiden, ladies of that sort being liable to possess strong- set particularities.
Come and walk up and down deck along with me once or twice, and then we will sit down by him, promiscuously like; and as soon as I get his appetite sharp, see how I will cram him."
