"And you used to stare at her?" "I would look in her direction sometimes," corrected Jimmy, with dignity. "Don't quibble! You stared at her. You behaved like a common rubber-neck, and you know it. I am no prude, James, but I feel compelled to say that I consider your conduct that of a libertine. Used she to walk alone?" "Generally." "And, now, you love her, eh?
To-morrow we go straight to Wallerstein. My dear little cousin, who sends you her regards, is anything but a prude. She dressed a la Francaise to please me yesterday. She looked at least 5 per cent, prettier in consequence. Now, Addio! On the 26th of October the mother and son set off to Mannheim.
Always rather given to a certain aristocratic exclusiveness in his speech, Keith had through his association with Murray become something of a prude in this respect. He could still descend to obscenities when his "manliness" had to be proved, but vulgarity repelled him irresistibly. Until then he had never dreamt of questioning any authority.
'See to the necessary comforts of the house instantly, said Beauchamp, and telling Renee, without listening to her, that he had to issue orders, he led Rosamund, who was out of breath at the effrontery of the pair, toward the door. 'Are you blind, ma'am? Have you gone foolish? What should I have sent for you for, but to protect her? I see your mind; and off with the prude, pray!
He repeated his joke in Japanese. The girl wriggled with embarrassment, and finally scuttled away across the room, while the others laughed. All the geisha now hid their faces among much tittering. Geoffrey was becoming harassed by this badinage; but he hated to appear a prude, and said: "I have got a wife, you know, Mr. Fujinami; she is keeping an eye on me."
Day breaking, I have the Pleasure of viewing the Person of Miss Snapper, whom I had not seen before the Soldier is witty upon me is offended talks much of his Valour is reprimanded by a grave Gentlewoman we are alarmed by the cry of Highwaymen I get out of the Coach, and stand in my own defence they ride off without having attacked us I pursue them one of them is thrown from his Horse and taken I return to the Coach am complimented by Miss Snapper the Captain's Behaviour on this Occasion the Prude reproaches me in a Soliloquy I upbraid her in the same Manner the Behaviour of Miss Snapper, at Breakfast, disobliges me the Lawyer is witty upon the Officer, who threatens him
She wondered how she could have been so cold, called herself a prude and an idiot, questioned if any man could really care for her, and got up in the dead of night to try new ways of doing her hair.
O my friend! did I not know how much you despise prudery; and that you are too young, and too lovely, to be a prude Let me add, that if you would clearly and explicitly tell me, how far Lovelace has, or has not, a hold in your affections, I could better advise you what to do, than at present I can. How far eligible for the first; how far rejectable for the last?
During these first moments of stupor Madame de Meilhan showed no indignation at my presence; but no sooner had she recovered the use of her senses than she burst into a storm of abuse; calling me a detestable intriguer, a low adventuress who, by my stage tricks, had turned the head of her noble son; I would be the cause of his death that fatal country would never give back her son; what a pity to see so superior a man, a pride and credit to his country, perish, succumb, to the snares of an obscure prude, who had not the sense to be his mistress, who was incapable of loving him for a single day; an ambitious schemer, who had determined to entrap him into marriage, but unhesitatingly sacrificed him to M. de Villiers as soon as she found M. de Villiers was the richer of the two, ... and many other flattering accusations she made, that were equally ill-deserved.
What business had she to play the spy upon my daughter? She does well to be a prude, for she is as ugly as sin. But we are in her power. She is to go to-morrow with Julia to Devonshire. It will make a quarrel between me and Miss Bateman no matter for that; for now, the sooner we get rid of that Rosamunda, too, the better she talks me dead, and will let no one talk but herself.
