"I am contemptible!" he groaned. "I had no right to trouble you with my insanities. Indeed I had not ever meant to let you guess how mad I was. But always I have evaded my responsibilities. So I remain Prince Fribble to the last." "Oh, but I knew, I have always known." She held her eyes away from him. "And I wrote to Lord Brudenel only yesterday releasing him from his engagement."
It was the picture of a vapid youth, fair-haired, with thin moustache elaborately trained, and thinner whiskers a fribble that gave half its little mind to its collar, and the other half to its boots. Such images are photographed in a flash of lightning on the sensitive brain of youth, and are naturally more often false guesses than true ones.
That really is the art of life, to be able to carry things through. Her bronzes are quite remarkable. By the way, she has an excellent brain. She cares for the arts. She is by no means a fribble. I have been surprised by her knowledge more than once." "She seems very fond of Lady Sellingworth. She wants to get her over to Paris." "Adela Sellingworth won't go." "Why not?"
A serjeant of the guards is a gentleman; and I had rather give such a man as you describe a dish of tea than any Beau Fribble of them all."

In advising him to wed, however, we have no bad portrait of the Petit Maitre.
"It does not in the least concern you or the story to know what manner of a woman Margot is. But I might say that she is in fulness a woman not a fribble, or one of those pick-me-up-and-carry-me women. So when I said plain words to her she did not pretend to misunderstand. "'Don't let us be conventional, I went on, 'It wouldn't fit in with these wonderful days a bit.
The comical and mortifying Transmigration of little Monsieur FRIBBLE into the Body of a Monkey. After we had taken our leave of Master Churl, we were conducted into the apartment of Mr.
