Graham sank into a chair, looking like a small boy caught in a prank. "First, there are no more first-class citizens no second-class citizens not even third-class citizens. Everyone's a citizen again. Period." He threw his hands up. "You mean ?" "That's exactly what I mean. No more restrictions. No more compulsory community work. No more quarters inspections. And no more privileges.
Many a jolly ride I had and many a boyish prank was perpetrated after getting well away from and out of the sight of home with the horse. There was one event which occurred in my childhood, which I cannot recall without a feeling of sadness. It was the death of my brother Samuel, who was accidentally killed in his twelfth year.
What could have persuaded fate to pick him for the victim of this cruel prank; to put him into this position, where he could not avoid suffering, no matter what he did? They wanted him to tell something, and Peter would have been perfectly willing to tell anything but how could he tell it when he did not know it? The more Peter thought about it, the more outraged he became. It was monstrous!
"All modern books are bad," said Cecil, who was annoyed at her inattention, and vented his annoyance on literature. "Every one writes for money in these days." "Oh, Cecil !" "It is so. I will inflict Joseph Emery Prank on you no longer." Cecil, this afternoon seemed such a twittering sparrow. The ups and downs in his voice were noticeable, but they did not affect her.
His convalescence took rather longer than the young optimist had expected, but as his recovery seemed sure, there was nothing more to worry about except the intervening studies.

"Don't believe so." "Wish he did. We could have jolly times together." "I'm going out to learn how to sail a ship, not to have fun," replied Bob, with an air of lofty virtue. He had said nothing about this voyage being a sort of discipline as punishment for his prank. He did not think that necessary. "When are you goin'?" "Next week."
Little by little, the young woman lost her cheerfulness. Morning and evening she went to the Rue de la Goutte-d'Or to look at the shop, which was still to be let; and she would hide herself as though she were committing some childish prank unworthy of a grown-up person. This shop was beginning to turn her brain.
"Since you came I have almost lost Jerry. But then, he was so very good, I am sure he should have been given a vacation." The little grocery wagon did not have to delay for its passenger when next afternoon Prank, with a clean blouse and his cap at exactly the right tilt, called to deliver goods and "collect" Tessie.
"'Twon't do for both of us to git killed an' leave no one to take the word to Lewis." "But why run any risk?" I anxiously demanded; for I feared he had some mad prank in mind which would betray our presence and perhaps stop our warning to the army. "We must l'arn somethin' as to how many o' the red skunks there be," he replied. "To venture near their camp will mean discovery.
'He must live; he shall, and come home to be nursed as soon as he can stir, if I go and bring him myself! I always knew he'd do something fine and brave, if he didn't get shot or hung for some wild prank instead, cried Mrs Jo, much excited. 'Do go, and take me with you, Mum.
