"But they say that the Empress is not overpleased at your absence," he mumbled. "I should not like harm to come in your way, Deucalion," he said aloud. "The future is in the hands of the most High Gods, Ro, and I at least believe that They will deal out our fates to each of us as They in Their infinite wisdom see best, though you seem to have lost your faith.
No, I repeat, the Count d'Artigas would probably not be overpleased if he were aware that Warder Gaydon is perfectly acquainted with this islet, even if the Ebba was to anchor there which, as there is no port, is, to say the least, extremely improbable. As we draw nearer, I attentively examine Back Cup.
"Well, you've taken more trouble over him than most fathers would do." "Are you an expert?" Peter laughed grimly and stood looking at Aymer with his chin in his hand, a curiously characteristic attitude of doubt with him. "You won't be overpleased when he wants to marry, which he is sure to do just when he's become useful to you."
She is rather grave and takes life very seriously, therefore you need not be afraid, Pal, that your Topmast will be led astray. Moreover, she is religious. We really ought to take religion a little more seriously, both of us. She is a splendid woman. She has just arrived and sends you her kind regards. "Your Gurli." The captain was not overpleased with this letter.
"I might as well die at dinner as anywhere," he observed. "Certainly," said I, cheerfully passing the decanter, but he did not appear overpleased with the attention. "I can't smoke, either," he snarled, hitching the shawls around until he looked like Richard the Third.
"I'll have some fun out of the little nigger," he said to himself, as he espied Pomp. Pomp approached, swinging his pail as before, and whistling a plantation melody. "What have you got there, Pomp?" asked John. "I'se got a pail," said Pomp independently. "Don't yer know a pail when you see him?" "I know an impudent little nigger when I see him," retorted John, not overpleased with the answer.
"But I can't say that little Ingmar is overpleased at the thought; he would have liked seeing her pass through a gate of honour instead, with her mother standing by her side, to give her to the bridegroom.
We laughed as the count said: "One can jest over it now, but at the time the only amusement I got out of the whole affair was when your dummy envelop came back from London with a savage criticism of the police by our not overpleased embassy in England. I did want to laugh, but M. de Lhuys did not." "And the original papers?" insisted the countess. "Paris was almost in a state of siege."
The tired Baptist was not overpleased with Harrodstown, though he there listened to the preaching of one of his own sect. He remarked "a poor town it was in those days," a couple of rows of smoky cabins, tenanted by dirty women and ragged children, while the tall, unkempt frontiersmen lounged about in greasy hunting-shirts, breech-clouts, leggings, and moccasins.
Let us not forget that if we are overpleased selfishly pleased at the approval of others, we are just as much in bondage to them as if we were angry at their disapproval. Both approval and disapproval are helpful if we accept them for the use they can be to us, but are equally injurious if we take them to feed our vanity or annoyance.
