T is little changed since I last saw him, and is well-informed, clover, and agreeable, but his own too-evident consciousness of possessing these recommendations prevents other people from according him due merit for them.
"What're you doing in these parts?" "Came down to buy a postage stamp," replied Hardy, following a habit he had of telling the truth in details. "Huh!" grunted Swope. "It's a wonder you wouldn't go to Bender for it that Jew over there might make you a rate!" "Nope," responded Hardy, ignoring the too-evident desire of the Moroni storekeeper to draw him into an argument.
That last meeting of Dan and Hope in the Academy yard, as if by appointment; the sudden departure of the nurse so soon after; and Dan's too-evident state of mind, were all skilfully used to give color to the ugly whispered reasons for the nurse's leaving town so hurriedly.
She was rather a handsome woman, but with a suggestion of coarseness in form and features, though her face, in spite of its too-evident signs of dissipation, was not a bad face. Seating herself on the top step, with her back against the post in an attitude of careless abandonment, she looked up at the negro who stood grinning in the doorway.

She observed Louisa flaunting about the shop, looking very handsome, and on every possible occasion appealing to Jim for advice or help. It seemed to Alison's jealous eyes that the young man did not dislike her too-evident attentions.
Of the rest there were many of doubtful repute, and a few that might have been neutral, yet all the time were secretly burning to help any cause against these rustlers. At all events, I gathered that impression from the shadowed faces, the tense bodies, the too-evident indication of anything but careless presence there. The windows were open. The light was clear.
The movement to canonize the great discoverer has been championed with more zeal than discretion by some over-ardent churchmen, while the too-evident human frailties of the proposed candidate for the honors of sainthood have inspired an abundant caution in the councils of the Vatican.
The meeting with the man Green and his too-evident thoughts as to the relations of the man and woman who were living together in the log house by the river filled Brian with alarm; while the very presence of the man from the city awoke old apprehensions that in his months of undisturbed quiet in Auntie Sue's backwoods home had almost ceased to be.
Nor did he dream that her low acquiescence was due, as much as anything else, to the beads of sweat on his forehead, his trembling hand, and his all too-evident general distress. "Of course, there's no way of telling what anybody wants from what they say." Daylight rubbed Bob's rebellious ear with his quirt and pondered with dissatisfaction the words he had just uttered.
