They dropped Sophia at her own door, but Lord Borrodaile said he would take Vida home. They drove along in silence. When they stopped before the tall house in Queen Anne's Gate, Vida held out her hand. 'It's late. I won't ask you in. 'You are over-tired. Go to bed. 'I wish I could. I'm dining out. He looked at her out of kind eyes. 'It begins to be dreadfully stuffy in town.
When I said I saw another aspect of it, the kind, soothing suggestion was that I must be a little over-tired. 7 May. They say La Panne is to be bombarded to-day. The Queen has left. I was much touched when some people at home clubbed together and sent me out a little car a short time ago. But, alas! it had not been chosen with judgment, and is no use.
“She lay there, then, as she loved best—with her head resting on my shoulder, not sleeping much or soundly; uneasily, with sudden waking starts, and with glances round her; till I would speak to her. And then she would look up into my face and smile; and so drop into that uneasy sleep again. And I would think she was over-tired, that was all; and reproach myself with having let her come on.
From any one else it would have been a matter of indifference to her, and hardly to be noticed; it vexed both ear and heart when Roger used the expression; and there was a curtness of manner as well as of words in her reply. 'Oh! she was over-tired by the ball. Papa has seen her, and says she will be all right very soon. 'I wonder if she wants change of air? said Roger, meditatively.
She put her arms about his neck and drew him toward her. "I don't know why, Allan, I know it's foolish, but I'm afraid," she whispered, "I'm afraid." "Now, Mandy," said her husband, with his arms round about her, "don't say you're going to get like other girls, hysterical and that sort of thing. You are just over-tired. We've had a big day, but an exhausting day, an exciting day.
Unseen she put out one hand behind her, and leaned it for support against the iron-studded oak timbers of the chapel door. But his eyes were not upon her as he went on, unconsciously, to deal the last, worst blow. "I said, ma'am, that my dead friend ... the name is Richard Mildare, Captain, late of the Grey Hussars.... You are ill, ma'am. I have been inconsiderate, and over-tired you."

Alick was quite done for by all he had gone through; he was miserably ill, and I hardly knew what to do with him, and he mended from the moment his face lightened up at the sight of her."
He wouldn't have asked them to go if they were too tired, too. Was He ever too tired over-tired like we get? I wonder. There was the temptation to be so ever tugging. Probably not, for He was wise, and had good self-control, and then He trusted His Father. Yet He probably went to the full limit of what was wise. Certainly He lived a strenuous life those three and a half years.
When Charlie stated curtly that he, Charlie, was going to no ball, he feigned disappointment, saying that Charlie ought to go for his sister's sake. In the matter of Charlie, Oswald Morfey also feigned disappointment, but for a different reason. Ozzie wanted to have Sissie as much as possible to himself. Mr. Prohack yawned in the car. "You're over-tired, Arthur.
"Yes, I should have been so sorry you had been over-tired. I was quite well off," said Meta. "And you must look on us as your home," added Flora. "How can she?" thought Ethel. "This is taking possession, and making Meta a guest already!" However, Meta did not seem so to feel it she replied by caresses, and turned again to her brother.
