"If it's manners to talk the way you do to your own children and strange little girls, why, then I don't want any," she said. "I guess I'll be going," she added abruptly and turned toward the door. David took her by the shoulders and brought her right about face. "Say good-by to mother," he said sternly. "Good-by, ma'am madam," Eleanor said and courtesied primly.
Dora said primly that she liked school; but she was very quiet, even for her; and when at twilight Marilla bade her go upstairs to bed she hesitated and began to cry. "I'm . . . I'm frightened," she sobbed. "I . . . I don't want to go upstairs alone in the dark." "What notion have you got into your head now?" demanded Marilla.
A man who almost looked as if he had gone into service along with the sleigh and the other belongings of his mistress, sat primly upon the front seat. He expressed as much pleasure at seeing the little Peppers coming, as his stoical countenance would allow, but he didn't move a muscle of face or figure.
"No, thank you," repeated Isabel, primly. Colonel Kent had greeted her with the most chilling politeness, and she burned to get away. "Say," resumed Romeo, "will you do something for me?" "Sure," replied the Doctor, cordially. "Anything." "Will you take a note out to my sister for me? I shan't get back for some time." "You bet. Where is it?" "I haven't written it yet. Just wait a minute."

Mrs. Chalk ignored the question. "My husband wouldn't be happy without me," she said, primly. "Would you, Thomas?" "No," said Mr. Chalk, with a gulp. "We we're going a long way," said Mr.
"Mamma went to Great Falls last week," she told him primly, just grazing him with one of her impersonal glances which nearly drove him to desperation. "Aunt Mary has typhoid fever there seems to be so much of that this spring and they sent for mamma. She's such a splendid nurse, you know." Thurston did know, but he passed over the subject. "And you're alone?" he demanded.
"It is really the first day this summer when I have needed my parasol," said Aunt Nancy, as she unfurled the carefully preserved article of her wardrobe and held it primly aloft. "I am so sorry that our rector was absent this morning.
"If somebody has hurt you, don't go yet," Hannaford urged. "It would look as if well, as if you felt too much. Don't you see?" "I shouldn't like to give that impression," she said, almost primly. Then, with a change of tone, "But I can't I won't stay at the hotel where I am. To-night at her house Lady Dauntrey invited me to come and stay there. I was asked before, to Christmas dinner.
Why wouldn't you come?" "I had things to do," said Jean primly. "Couldn't the things have waited? Good days in December are precious, Miss Jean and Pam and I are going away next week. Promise you will go with us next time on Saturday, to the Eildon Hills." "What's your Christian name, please?" Jock broke in suddenly, remembering the discussion. "Jean says it's Richard Plantagenet is it?"
Coffinkey, escorted by her maid, was walking primly home from drinking tea at the vicarage. Still Mary's reflections only strengthened her resolution. On the next day, which was Sunday, she ascended to the Folly, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, and found the family, including the parrot, spread out upon the lawn under the shade of the acacia, the mother reading to them.
