'You've met for certain at that matinee one of those long-tailed creatures' this was how Platonida Ivanovna always spoke of all fashionably-dressed ladies of the period 'with a pretty dolly face; and she goes prinking this way ... and pluming that way' Platonida presented these fancied manoeuvres in mimicry 'and making saucers like this with her eyes' and she drew big, round circles in the air with her forefinger 'You're not used to that sort of thing.

In the hairdressing parlor half the long rows of chairs reached out empty arms except during the rush hours of afternoon; even then impatient patrons merely sprinkled the room with little oases of activity while the girls busied themselves with tidying shelves already immaculate, and prinking before the mirrors whenever they dared.
"Captain Heald desires his company upon an immediate mission to the Pottawattomie camp." "Oh, is that all? Well, Captain de Croix will hardly be found sufficiently recovered from his late adventure to enter upon another one so early. 'T is in my thought he either sleeps or is prinking himself for more pleasant conquests. But why worry him?
'Prinking 'erself h'up, answered Gotham severely. 'Gotham telling fibs! said the young lady in question, coming up behind him with her light tread. 'Perhaps he had better take himself to the library, and report to Mr. Falkirk. What do you want of me, Dingee? I thought everything was here.
Take a parasol or a pair of galoshes if you feel that your system craves them," replied Constance calmly. "I am going just as I am. We girls who are in the house usually are glad to sneak in without prinking." Patricia giggled. "Lead me down," she commanded briskly. "I'm perfectly crazy to see what's what and who's who.
