And how was the extra population to be stayed if every one of the doomed quota of marriageable males were of the same mind as himself? Presently Mr. Pryme sauntered idly to the window, and stood looking drearily out of it, still whistling, of course. The prospect was not a lively one.
He is a hum- a-bug!" Laura did the vocal caricaturing, when she had gathered plenty of matter of this kind. Altogether, as host, Mr. Pericles accomplished his duty in furnishing amusement. Late in the afternoon, Sir Twickenham Pryme and Wilfrid arrived in company. The baronet went straight to Cornelia.
I said to myself that I would give you an opening in this case of mine, and if you will work hard and make yourself known and respected in your profession, I should not object, in the course of time, to your being engaged to her, and I would endeavour to induce her mother to agree to it. I came here to-day, Mr. Pryme, to give you a fair chance of winning her." "You are too good, Mr.
Fortunately, while actually engaged in out-guessing Lee, of the second, or breaking through the none too vulnerable Pryme, or racing down the field under one of Harris's punts, he had no time to think of it and so was spared the mortification of suspended animation at what would have been a most unfortunate time. His appetite became decidedly capricious.
I'm going to prosecute them, sir, and I don't care what it costs me to do it; and I'll expose the whole system of these trumped-up fabrications, that contain, as a rule, one grain of truth to a hundredweight of lies. Well, now, Mr. Pryme, I want a clever barrister to take up this case, and I have instructed Messrs. Grainge, my solicitors, to retain you."

If I am mistaken, Mr. Pryme, explain to me the meaning of that," and the heavy forefinger was again levelled at the offending objects before him. Not one single word could Herbert utter.
"I beg your pardon, mamma; I did not mean to sneer, but you say very trying things; and Mr. Pryme is a gentleman, and every bit as good as we are!" "And where is the money to be found for this precious marriage, I should like to know? Do you suppose Mr. Pryme can support you?" "Oh dear, no; but I know papa will not let me starve." And Mrs. Miller knew it too.
Romilly's attempts to improve the criminal law began in 1808. Bentham's Works, x. p. 574. Brougham's Speeches , ii. 287-486. An interesting summary of the progress of law reforms and of Bentham's share in them is given in Sir R. K. Wilson's History of Modern English Law . Bentham's Works, x. 571. In Cambridge Pryme was the first professor in 1828, but had only the title without endowment.
Not that the Bar is not a fine profession; quite the finest there is," for not even to himself would Herbert Pryme decry the legal muse whom he worshipped; "but, I suppose, like every other profession, it is overstocked; there are too many struggling for the same prizes. The fact is, that England is over-populated.
