She suggested hereby her impatience to begin; she almost overtly wondered at the length of the opportunity this friend was giving them referring it, however, so far as words went, to the other friend, breaking off with an amused: "How tremendously Susie must be beautifying!" It only marked Aunt Maud, none the less, as too preoccupied for her allusion.
If he felt any uneasiness or dismay on account of P. Sybarite's steadily augmented mountain of chips, he betrayed it not at all overtly. "The game is closed," he announced evenly, with a slow smile. "Sir" directly to P. Sybarite "although it lacks the resources of Monte Carlo, this establishment nevertheless imitates its protective measures.
'The respect, to quote your poet, 'that makes calamity of so long a life, is the consideration that though calamity may live long, the sufferer may live longer still." On this, seeing that there was little probability of our coming to an agreement, I let the argument drop, and my opponent presently left me with as much disapprobation as he could show without being overtly rude.
Jamieson in that very room, listening while he overtly accused both Gertrude and Halsey of at least a knowledge of the death of Arnold Armstrong. Now Halsey was here to speak for himself: I should learn everything that had puzzled me. "I saw it in the paper to-night for the first time," he was saying. "It knocked me dumb. When I think of this houseful of women, and a thing like that occurring!"

"If they knew we'd been snooping around before, they'd probably claim that the octopus really did wail, and that they were only recording him. Your gag about screaming squid and burbling barracuda would appeal to them, Tony." The archaeologist chuckled. "Anyway, we got out of that one pretty well. I had a little trouble banging my tank.

Hardened though they were to scenes of violence, the clients of the dive had stilled in apprehension the moment November lifted his voice in anger; while P. Sybarite's first overtly offensive move had struck them all dumb in terror.
They betrayed no emotion at its smallness or its plainness, or its eccentricities. He would somehow have expected them to signify, overtly or covertly, that that kind of room was not the kind of room to which they were accustomed. "Anyhow, I'm glad to see ye, Mrs. Prockter," James returned. A speech which did not in the least startle Mrs.
On the other hand he reflected, with satisfaction, that in these sentiments he himself had neither overtly nor covertly expressed concurrence; while the most extravagant assertors of responsible government had never accused him of stepping out of his constitutional position.
She was careful not to take sides against me overtly, but neither did she seek to comfort or to aid me. She withdrew into a neutrality that favoured Victoria silently, although it refused openly to espouse her cause. The two ladies thus came closer together again, leaving me more to myself.
