Her tears streamed fast, but her sobs were checked by awe at Mrs. Eden's calmness. She felt as if she had been among the angels. 'How pale you are! said her cousin, 'I would not have taken you there if I thought it would overset you so much. Come into Mrs. Grey's, and sit down and recover a little. 'No, no, do not let me see any one, said Lily. 'Oh! that dear child!
It jest reminds me of Sister Blanker." And he sez, "I don't thank you to compare me to that slab-sided old maid." Sez I, "I believe she's a Christian, Josiah." And so I do. But sez I, "Folks must be megum even in goodness, Josiah Allen, and in order to set down and hold a half orphan in your arms, you mustn't overset yourself and come down on the floor on top of a hull orphan or a nursin' child.
Ostensibly you are to go to Königsberg to advise the young, inexperienced Elector. You may set out for Königsberg, but you will never get there; you will meet with an accident on the way either your carriage will be overset and you fatally injured, or robbers fall upon you in the woods and murder you.
Ransom went off, and a very faint colour rose in Daisy's cheek. "Are you not well, Daisy?" said Mr. Randolph, who had also drawn near. "I am well, papa." "You don't look so. What's the matter, that you don't go a- fishing, when Ransom has the consideration to ask you?" Daisy's tranquillity was very nearly overset.

'Poor Charlotte! said Isabel, smiling; 'it seems that she trusted to making a grand appearance with the remains of yesterday's pudding, and that she was quite overset by the discovery that Ellen and Miss Catharine had been marauding on them. 'You don't mean that Kitty has been eating that heavy pudding at this time of night? cried James.
The master informed me how, by the negligence of the steersman, the steerage was set on fire: that, at his outcry for help, the fire was, as we thought totally extinguished; but, that some sparks getting between the timber, and within the ceiling, it proceeded into the hold, where there was no resisting it; & then they got into their boats, as creatures in the last extremity, with what provision they had, together with oars, sails, and a compass, intending to go back to Newfoundland, the wind blowing at S.E. and by E. though there were several chances against them as storms to overset and founder them, rains and colds to benumb and perish their limbs, and contrary winds to keep them back and starve them; But, said he, in this our great distress we heard the welcome report of your guns, when with unspeakable joy, taking down our masts and sails, we were resolved to lie by till morning; but perceiving your light, we set our oars at work, to keep our boat a head, the sooner to attain your ship, the happy instrument of our deliverance.
Your good mother is not in the least aware I hope she never may be of the reasons which force me to this very strange decision. They arise from a painful circumstance, which is attributable to none of our faults; but, having once befallen, they are as fatal and irreparable as that shock which overset honest Alnaschar's porcelain, and shattered all his hopes beyond the power of mending.
This overset all my wisdom, and I returned like the dog to his vomit, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. That this resolution was not just taken in a repentant mood merely to be forgotten again in a month's time, Gilbert bears convincing testimony.
"No, let the cards lie. Now begone to the quarters! 'Twas I that stumbled and overset the table."
