As I made my way into the porch, a very big man without his coat passed me with a civil 'good-evening. I thought it must be Nathaniel, from his great height, and of course the prim-looking little widow in black, standing on the threshold, was Mrs. Barton. She had a nice, plaintive face, and spoke in a mild, deprecating voice. 'Good-evening, Mrs. Barton. What dreadful weather!
"He seems to be insane," said the prim-looking man, "we had better order the porter to turn him out." "I am by no means certain," said I, "that the porter could turn me out; always provided there is a porter, and this system of ours be not a lie, and a dream." "Come," said the lion-looking man, impatiently, "a truce with this nonsense.

The first named were sober, prim-looking persons, but Lady Muriel Howard, who wore low-neck, corkscrew curls, and carried an enormous fan, ogled the various occupants of the dining-room through her eyeglass as she advanced.
He remembered the pretty, rather prim-looking girl as the daughter of May's favourite rector, and he remembered, too, Ethel's outspoken advice about his possible matrimonial plans. Vera Farlow bowed, a little severely, but Ethel Grimmer gave neither of the others the chance to speak. "I've often asked May how you were getting on, but she always seemed vague as to where you were.
Here also was a picture of Florence Haviland, her handsome face self-satisfied, her trio of homely, distinguished-looking girls about her, and a small picture of Gardner, and two of Clarence's dead mother: one, as they all remembered her, a prim-looking woman with gray hair and magnificent lace on her unfashionable gown, the other, taken thirty years before, showing her as cheerful and youthful, a cascade of ringlets falling over her shoulder, the arm that coquettishly supported her head resting upon an upholstered pedestal, a voluminous striped silk gown sweeping away from her in rich folds.
Letitia and Arthur were thin, prim-looking, rather plain children; but Oliver was the very picture of a father's darling, a boy that any childless man would bitterly covet, any childless woman crave and yearn for, with a longing that women alone can understand; a child who, beautiful as most childhood is, had a beauty you rarely see bright, frank, merry, bold; half a Bacchus and half a Cupid, he was a perfect image of the Golden Age.

Neither of the women in the shop had a moment to attend to Annie's sore need. She began to think that Mrs. Myrtle was not so kind as she looked, and to understand a little of nurse's repugnance to the pawnbroker class.
She spoke a little shyly as the car came to a standstill at the foot of the steps leading to the big door. "This is your house?" "Yes, this is Greenriver." He helped her out of the car. "And here is my old friend Mrs. Blades coming to meet us." An elderly, rather prim-looking woman came forward as Owen advanced, and in her eyes shone a welcoming light. "Come in, sir.
