His lips opened, and moved inarticulately; then he pointed a rigid finger, in the manner of a guide-board, at a paragraph in the paper, which he held up for Mrs. Bilkins to read over his shoulder. When she had read it she sunk back into her chair without a word, and the two sat contemplating each other as if they had never met before in this world, and were not overpleased at meeting.
Spencer agreed that it would be better for the two little girls to have regular school hours, and Delight was glad to have Marjorie at her lessons with her. Midge herself was not overpleased at the prospect, but her parents had approved of the plan, and had sent over her school-books. The play-room was used as a school-room, and a pleasant enough room it was.
"Well, you don't seem overpleased, after all. Wasn't I right?" "Quite right, old fellow. But, I say, is she in love with Haddington?" "Ah, there's your beastly vanity? I think she is rather, you know, or she'd never have given herself away so." "Rum taste!" said Eugene, whose relief at his freedom was tempered by annoyance at Kate's insensibility. "But I'm awfully obliged.
And with this he took off his hat to Suzette and shook hands with André, who looked not overpleased, and proceeded to introduce me as his friend Monsieur Basil Arbuthnot, "a young English gentleman, très distingué"
"This mountain travel is maddening; one might as well be a snail." "Sure, a slow train's tiresome," agreed Van Blarcom.

An angry answer rose to my lips, but the Mont Cenis tunnel opportunely enveloped us, and in the dark half-hour transit that followed I regained my self-control.
It is needless to say that he had not undressed. Three or four men were lying near him, all fast asleep except one, and that one he recognized as Henry Hogan. "Halloo!" said Hogan. "You here?" "Yes," said Joe, not overpleased at the meeting. "We seem to keep together," said Hogan, with a grin. "So it seems," said Joe coldly. Hogan, however, seemed disposed to be friendly.
A very useful light may be provided for the veranda, just outside the door, illuminating the front steps and path to the sidewalk. This light may be turned off and on by a switch key inside the door. It is particularly comforting when some stranger rings the doorbell late at night and one does not feel overpleased to be called upon to open the door to an invisible person.
The moment I set eyes on you this afternoon I knew that you had not come to Paris alone." "You are mistaken, my good de Batz," rejoined the young man earnestly; "I came to Paris alone." "Clever parrying, on my word but wholly wasted on my unbelieving ears. Did I not note at once that you did not seem overpleased to-day when I accosted you?" "Again you are mistaken.
Rivers, surprised and still partially ignorant, looked from one to another. "Oh, James!" remonstrated his wife, not overpleased. "Wait a little, my dear Ann. Now, John, I want to hear precisely how you gave Josiah a warning and well all the rest. You ought to know that my little lady did as usual the right thing.
When Pauline was apprised of this measure, she rallied a little and smiled her contentment, but soon after fell into her habitual lassitude. The doctor, who was there to watch the effect, was not overpleased. He had expected a more marked result, and he almost feared that the relief had come too late.
