He was already touching her, when she said: "Monsieur, you may beat me if you like, me who reared you, but that will not prevent your wife from deceiving you, or alter the fact that your child is not yours ..." He stopped suddenly, and let his arms fall, and he remained standing opposite to her, so overwhelmed that he could understand nothing more, and she added: "You need only look at the child to know who is its father!
On arrival at Milledgeville I occupied the same public mansion, and was soon overwhelmed with appeals for protection. General Slocum had previously arrived with the Twentieth Corps, had taken up his quarters at the Milledgeville Hotel, established a good provost-guard, and excellent order was maintained.
Wordsworth used to say that Hartley's life's failure arose mainly from his having grown up "wild as the breeze," delivered over, without help or guardianship, to the vagaries of an imagination which overwhelmed all the rest of him.
I set to work at once to complete my preparations. I did not think I ran any risk in helping Oscar to get away. The newspapers had seized the opportunity of the trials before the magistrate and before Mr. Justice Charles and had overwhelmed the public with such a sea of nauseous filth and impurity as could only be exposed to the public nostrils in pudibond England.
"But when?" cried the poor mother, overwhelmed, "he has not been in since breakfast." "I wish I might be mistaken," said the old woman. "But this morning in Joseph's studio, when I spoke before Philippe of my stakes, I had a presentiment. I did wrong not to go down and take my little all and pay for my stakes at once.

My Tusculan and Pompeian properties please me immensely, except that they have overwhelmed me me, the scourge of debt! not exactly in Corinthian bronze, but in the bronze which is current in the market. In Gaul I hope peace is restored.
"What can you do to stop it?" she retorted defiantly, "Give me religion -I guess you'd tell me. Religion's all right for those on top, but say, it would be a joke if I got it. There ain't any danger. But if I did, it wouldn't pay room-rent and board." He sat mute. Once more the truth overwhelmed, the folly of his former optimism arose to mock him.
Pompeii was overwhelmed with dry ashes and lapilli. Sir W. Hamilton found some of the stones to weigh eight pounds. It was during the sinking of a well in 1713 upon the theatre containing the statues of Hercules and Cleopatra that the existence of the ancient city was accidentally discovered.
"Oh!" she said, "I don't think you are to blame, really. I have often thought that I could never, never bear to do such things, though, of course, if there was no one to do them it would be dreadful; but " "Yes," said Tom, "there it is. Someone must do it, and I know I'm a confounded coward and ninny, but but I couldn't." And he looked overwhelmed with humiliation.
