"And this Prince of ours, whom you have asked to be your king. Is not that a spoke in your wheel?" asked the man of few words. "A loose spoke which will drop out. No one not even Prim thinks that he will last ten years. He may not last ten months." "But you have to reckon with the man. This son of Victor Emmanuel is clever and capable.
Winslow suffered herself to be handed over the fence. She sat on the bench beside Miss Hopkins in the prim attitude which had pertained to gentility in her youth, her hands loosely clasping each other, her feet crossed at the ankles. "It's an awful sight, ain't it?" she breathed, "those little shiny things; I don't see how you ever git on them." "I don't get on them," said Miss Hopkins.
She says she didn't dare, because I'm so "queer and prim about some things." I'm not, am I? But now she's driven to confess, as she's in the most awful scrape, and doesn't know what will become of her and "darling Honoré," unless I'll consent to help them. She met him only last Easter.
Denis which drags its slow length along all the way to the famous Abbey outside Paris. The Rue du Faubourg St. Denis is a changed street now, and widens out, prim, white, and glittering, towards the new barrier and the new Rond Point.
"Had you not loved him you would not have accepted him." "What was I to do, Frank? What am I to do? Think how desolate I am, how unfriended, how much in want of some one whom I can call a protector!

"Humph!" "Naturally we should try to see to it that you did not escape," she added. "What will you pay for them?" he demanded. "Five hundred dollars for every scrap of paper in this desk, and immunity for you for turning state's evidence you know!" "They are worth more than that," he said, taking no notice of the insult. They bargained back and forth. Prim was really in a hurry to close the trade.
I guessed his age at fifty, but suspect now that the lines about his somewhat prim mouth were traced there by sorrows rather than by years. He bowed to me shyly, and addressed the boy. "Johnny, what are you doing here? in bare feet!" "Father, here is a man who says the sun doesn't always shine in England." The man gave me a fleeting embarrassed glance, and echoed, as if to shirk answering
She took a dislike to Dorothy, as she said herself, the instant she cast her eyes upon her. She could not bear that prim, set face, she said. The country-bred heifer evidently thought herself superior to every one in the castle. She was persuaded the minx was a sly one, and would carry tales. So judged mistress Amanda Serafina Fuller, after her kind.
Miss Minerva, who had been standing prim, erect, and stiff, fell limply into a convenient rocking chair, and looked closely at this orphaned nephew who had come to live with her.
