He would not have employed the formal prefix to his clerk's name but for Emily's presence; the father knew that, and felt grateful. 'Not this year, I think, sir, he replied, with perfect cheerfulness. Of the three dogs that accompanied Dagworthy, one was a handsome collie.
Will you come for a little walk with me on the Fell? There is something I must say to you before I go. Lesbia's delicate cheek grew a shade more pale. Instinct told her what was coming, though never mortal man had spoken to her of love. Nor until now had Mr. Hammond ever addressed her by her Christian name without the ceremonious prefix.
Von Einem the name I had heard at Gaudian's house, the name Stumm had spoken behind his hand, the name to which Hilda was probably the prefix.

I find a noble effort made by a rich man who kept his heart above wealth, Titus Salt he was a baronet, but we will spare him, as we spare Nelson, the derogatory prefix to put away what is dark and evil in factory life.
Cronk growled in her ear. Mechanically she rose, sliced a few cold potatoes into the skillet, and arranged the table for one person. "Put down two plates!" roared the squatter. "I can't eat, Lon," Flea said in a whisper. He noticed that she had dropped the paternal prefix. "Put down another plate, I say!" he shouted.
It implies that I am sailing under false colors, and I don't like that." "I am not good at riddles, and I suspect prefix," she cried. "Ah, well, I suppose I must get through with it.
