The eager faces of the boys and girls smiled at the faculty, sitting in prim rows on the stage; the faculty smiled back. There was stirring music until the last pupil had found her place. Then, just as Dr.
"He may be nice," returned the latter, consolingly, though with much evident distaste to the fact. "Who cares, and then besides, I bet he isn't." "You mustn't bet." "I will. You may be nice, and proper, and so awfully prim, if you want to, but I sha'n't." "You're nearly fifteen." "Suppose I am. Besides I'm not; it's three months yet."
Good-by, then " "Oh, are you bound for the Cruelty, too?" I asked. "Why, so am I. And yes yes that's the Cruelty!" The Cruelty stands just where it did, Mag, when you and I first saw it; most things do in Philadelphia, you know. There's the same prim, official straight up-and-downness about the brick front.
There existed a sympathetic bond between him and Mrs Cotterill, despite her prim taciturnity and her exasperating habit of sitting with her hands pressed tight against her body and one over the other. Occasionally he teased her and she liked being teased. He had glimpses now and then of her secret soul; he was perhaps the only person in Bursley thus privileged. Then there was Nellie.
"Who is it?" she cried, starting up and realising that it was morning. The door opened a crack and the slightly prim accents of the night-nurse called through: "It's after your usual time," she said. "I thought you would like to know." Esther sprang out of bed. "Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry! Something must have gone wrong with my clock." It was true. Last night's accident had damaged the alarm.
If ever she turns prim, I'm off; so mind how you nip her in the bud, said Teddy, frowning at Demi, who was now writing out shorthand notes on the steps. 'You two are a team, and it takes a strong hand to drive you, but I rather like it. Josie ought to have been my child, and Rob yours, Meg. Then your house would have been all peace and mine all Bedlam. Now I must go and tell Laurie the news.
Matthew's, Whittingtonia, and when he said "Yes, he lived in the clergy house," he began regularly to play him off, asking the most absurd questions about fasts and feasts and vigils and decorations, and Clem answered them all in his prim little self-sufficient way, just as if he thought he was on the high- road to be St. Clement the Martyr, till I was ready to run away.
Accordingly she rose very early one morning; she wrote a pretty and grateful note to Miss Starke, who was fast asleep, left it on the table, and before any one was astir, stole from the house, her little bundle on her arm. She lingered an instant at the garden-gate, with a remorseful sentiment, a feeling that she had ill-repaid the cold and prim protection that Miss Starke had shown her.
A few years later Booth married the charmer, and she, having become virtuous and prim, made the remainder of his life a bed of domestic roses. And now for the brief story of Booth's dignified career. Barton came of good English stock, and his father, with a true British desire to rule the destinies of his family, mapped out a clerical life for the boy.
Does the whole duty of woman consist in keeping her house distressingly clean and prim; in making and baking and preserving and pickling; in climbing to the top shelves of closets lest haply a little dust should lodge there, and getting down on her hands and knees to inspect the carpet? The truth is there is not one point of sympathy between Martha and myself, not one.
