A quick involuntary expression crossed Marcella's face. Then she drew herself up with dignity, and crossed her hands primly on her lap. "Let me understand. Are you going to protect me from Lady Kent this time? Because, last time you threw me to the wolves in the most dastardly way." Mrs. Allison laughed out.

He had a private sanatorium. My booming voice gave his nervous patients prostrations, and father thought my clothes were not sanitary because they could not be sterilized. Are you going to stay here for good?" It was very risky to ask, he knew, but he had to find out. "I am visiting my sister in Denver. We just came here for the Frontier Days," said Connie primly.

As for Carl, he often meditated upon his own age, which might have been anything between thirty and forty-five, and upon the mysterious ages of the ladies, and upon their goodness, their charm, their seriousness, their intelligence and their sympathy with himself. Hence the self-consciousness in the gloaming. To create a diversion Miss Ebag walked primly to the window and cried: "Goldie! Goldie!"

The sense of justice was strong within her, but she made her speech haughtily and primly, as if she had learned it by rote from some maiden school-mistress, and pulled her arm away and turned to go; but Thomas's words stopped her.

"So I have been informed," answered Doreen, more primly than ever. And then he waited for her to look up; and when she did, he kissed her.

She sat primly upright as she always sat, but her sleek head bent itself charmingly Felicia was knitting. She was weaving a shawl for the Wheezy, a gay red shawl.

So good of you to call!... My dear Miss Smith, this is indeed a pleasure." She seated herself again, quite primly now, and moved her hands over the tabouret appropriately to her words.
