One said contemptuously, "Oh, you're a goody-goody, parson!" when he refused, but the others quickly silenced him in a way that showed their respect for Job. The cards dropped from their hands before long, and each seemed occupied with his own thoughts.

Marjorie Dean was a great baby to allow her mother to run her affairs. There was no one quite so tiresome as a goody-goody.

I wanted to propose that we each choose some small charity for this winter, and do it faithfully. That will teach us how to do more by and by, and we can help one another with our experiences, perhaps, or amuse with our failures. What do you say?" asked Anna, surveying her five friends with a persuasive smile. "What COULD we do?" "People will call us goody-goody."
"I never saw the goody-goody one close to, so I can't say," Drummond answered. "Certainly I was a little way off at the café, and she had a hat and veil on, but I could have sworn that it was 'Alcide." "Is 'Alcide' still in Paris?" Ennison asked. "Don't think so," Drummond answered.
