"Never choose a room-mate bigger than yourself. They're dangerous." The freshman was backing precipitously toward the door, when it opened and revealed an attractive-looking girl with fluffy reddish hair. "Pris, you wretch, you walked off with my hammer!" "Oh, Georgie, we need it worse than you do! Come in and help tack." "Hello, Georgie," called Patty, from the ladder.
I could not bear Euripides at college. I now read my recantation. He has faults undoubtedly. But what a poet! Macaulay, Life and Letters, i. 43. These men and there is no difficulty in adding to their number are not only qualified but unprejudiced witnesses. They have no parti pris.
"A stitch in time saves nine." "O Pris, Pris, I'm really going! Here's the invitation rough paper Chapel spreads Lyceum Hall everything splendid; and Jack to take care of me!" As Kitty burst into the room and performed a rapturous pas seul, waving the cards over her head, sister Priscilla looked up from her work with a smile of satisfaction on her quiet face. "Who invites you, dear?"
Pour lui, il m'avoua que son dessein étoit de se rendre avec moi auprès de monseigneur le duc; qu'il ne se sentoit nulle envie d'être Sarrasin, et que s'il avoit pris quelque engagement

C'est un parti pris, every one understands but only not he." At this moment a footman with stockinged legs came in with a note on a silver platter. "There now, from Aline herself.

And to be, de parti pris, an Impressionist without these! O Velasquez! Nor is literature quite free from a like reproach in her own things. An author, here and there, will make as though he had a word worth hearing nay, worth over-hearing a word that seeks to withdraw even while it is uttered; and yet what it seems to dissemble is all too probably a platitude.
Here has been a great to-do that you should not be tried at Exeter by your country, but be brought here to London, and now you ask to be tried by your country. Must we send you to Exeter again? Pris. My lord, I understood it was the form. L.C.J. So it is, man: we spoke only in the way of pleasantness. Well, go on and swear the jury. So they were sworn. I omit the names.
There are dozens of yards of this matchless guipure, but, of course, few eyes are ever rejoiced by the sight of it; and as I turned from one treasure to another, gold and silver ecclesiastical ornaments, carved ivory coffers, enamels, cameos, embroideries, inlaid reliquaries and tapestries, I was reminded of a passage in Victor Hugo's last poem Le Pape wherein the Pope of his imagination, thus makes appeal to the Cardinals and Bishops in conclave: "Pretre, a qui donc as-tu pris tes richesses?
