I am not a child and I understand my own business thoroughly. When I saw you girls the first day of school, I thought that you were full of life and spirit, but really you are all goody-goodies, who allow those teachers to lead you around by the nose.
Jo looked with a pretty pout at the invited guests gathered about her mother and father waiting for her at the family carriage. "Thank you, yes. I am glad to get away from those tiresome goody-goodies. It looks like the Benningtons are taking the whole official board and the 'amen corner' home for dinner." "Then come to the Sunflower Inn and dine with me.
It certainly pays. It is only the goody-goodies who go to the wall." "My dear Marian!" says Lady Rylton, with a delicate pretence at horror; she puts up her hands, but after a second or so bursts out laughing. "I always say you are the one creature who amuses me," cries she, leaning back, and giving full play to her mirth. "I never get at you, somehow.
According to the usual method of interpreting dreams, the valley of flowers is symbolical of innocence and self-restraint of that path in life with which the goody-goodies say every young lady should be satisfied. "The hunter is representative of the love of change and excitement; the horse of self-indulgence. The misty moon means ruin, the metamorphosis into the crawling phantasm death.
No one who was really sincere at heart could fail to be impressed by the campus. "There is just one thing about it. We have got to get busy." Leslie Cairns made this announcement with special emphasis on the word "got." Her face wore an expression of sullen determination. "Those Sanford goody-goodies are out to do us." "Out to do us?" repeated Natalie Weyman, with questioning inflection.
"I've always said if I were his Satanic Majesty and wished to defeat the goody-goodies, I wouldn't bother fighting 'em! I'd take an afternoon nap and let them buck themselves by their lies and bickerings." The youth ran his eye down the galley proof. "Who filled you up with this dope?" Brydges lowered his voice to an altogether amused and very confidential key. "What's the matter with it?"
"She likes you as well as she likes the rest of us. I don't believe she is awfully, terribly, fearfully fond of girls. When she was young she must have been one of those stiff, prim goody-goodies; the distressingly snippy sort that made all her friends so tired." Muriel laughed softly. Marjorie smiled at Muriel's unflattering description of Miss Merton's youth, then her face sobered.
"I might as well tell you at once that Eleanor's opinion of us is far from flattering," said Grace, half laughing, although there was a hurt look on her face. "She says we are all goody-goodies and that we make her tired. She also requested me to mind my own business." "She said that to you? Just wait until the next time I see her," blustered Nora, "I'll tell her what I think of her."
