Raskolnikov was still laughing, with his hand in Porfiry Petrovitch's, but anxious not to overdo it, awaited the right moment to put a natural end to it.
Сцена представлялась таким образом: Раскольников досмеивался, забыв свою руку в руке хозяина, но, зная мерку, выжидал мгновения поскорее и натуральнее кончить.

I have done everything long ago; in fact, I have overdone.
Я уже сделал все, что мог. Собственно говоря, я сделал слишком много.

It is true that at that time he was overdoing his part as a buffoon. He liked to put himself forward and entertain the company, ostensibly on equal terms, of course, though in reality he was on a servile footing with them.
Правда, в ту пору он у нас слишком уж даже выделано напрашивался на свою роль шута, любил выскакивать и веселить господ, с видимым равенством конечно, но на деле совершенным пред ними хамом.

In fact, he sang 'hosannah' and overdid it so, that some persons there of lofty ideas wouldn't shake hands with him at first -- he'd become too rapidly reactionary, they said.
Словом, пропел "осанну", да и пересолил, так что иные там, с образом мыслей поблагороднее, так даже руки ему не хотели подать на первых порах: слишком де уж стремительно в консерваторы перескочил.

He shrugged, and if I didn't know better, I'd have said he was overdoing casualness.
Он пожал плечами, вроде бы подчеркнуто легкомысленно, но я понимала, что это не так.

That was worse: she fretted and sighed, and liked at her watch till eight, and finally went to her room, completely overdone with sleep; judging by her peevish, heavy look, and the constant rubbing she inflicted on her eyes.
Но разговор и вовсе не клеился: она ерзала и вздыхала и поглядывала на свои часы - до восьми, и наконец ушла к себе в комнату, одолеваемая сном, - если судить по ее скучному, тяжелому взгляду и по тому, как она усиленно терла глаза.
