He understood, and continued: "Of course you'll keep your eye on Mrs.
"Dan," said Philip abruptly, "I want you to come on with me to-morrow." Field was looking out through the trees toward the wharf and boats at the head of the lake. He turned sharply and answered: "Phil, you're a prig. I'll do nothing of the kind." "We've been here long enough, Dan," Philip went on, taking no notice of the rudeness except in his manner. "I shall go north in the morning.
Those few words were in familiar French, the French of the day, which Covick often made use of to show he wasn't a prig. It had for some persons the opposite effect, but his message may fairly be paraphrased. "Have patience; I want to see, as it breaks on you, the face you'll make!" "Tellement envie de voir ta tete!" that was what I had to sit down with.
The buildings of New York impressed the little prig greatly. Trinity Church he pronounces "one of the most splendid edifices which I ever saw," and he waxes into "Opalian" eloquence over Barnum's American Museum, which was "illuminated from basement to attic." We sailed on the "George Law," arriving at Aspinwall, the eastern terminal of the Panama Railroad, in ten days.

"I am afraid Mary is something of a little prig," said Miss Ada to her brother when the little girls had gone to bed. "Polly will broaden her views if any one can," aid Uncle Dick.
"I am asking you a question and I demand an answer." Edwardes' voice rang out passionately. "I am no prig who supplies unasked codes of conduct to others even when they need it as badly as you do. But since you ask yes, I agree fully, and I add this to boot. You are the most appallingly irresponsible man whose hands have ever grasped power.
O, then I read all the while, the 'Fairchild Family' and 'Anna Ross, and I used to wear my hair in very smooth braids, I remember. I was ever so good." "Impossible; you must have forgotten," suggested Norman. "You surely whispered in school and committed similar dreadful crimes. Poor little prig." "No, don't," plead Mae; "please don't laugh at the little girl me.

Then she pulled herself up sharply and turned to bay. "What about the Forbes supper?" she demanded. Sally shrugged her shoulders, as she fastened her fur collar. "Oh, Beatrix, you prig!
Only through emotion, only through some courageous adventure of the spirit, only through daring to be human, could he reach liberation; and yet he could not dare; he could not let himself go; he could not lose his life in order that he might find it. Corinna was right, he felt, when she called him a prig.
Janice had washed and dressed and read her morning Bible chapter, which she always managed to find time for, even when she did not get up as early as on this occasion.
