And perhaps the poorest method of all would be some system of domestic education, which the experimenter thinks will do the work exactly. I am somewhat suspicious of systems. I am more than suspicious of any constrained formal method, bringing up children in a mere manual drill, crimping them into a mould of mincing proprieties, and making them speak with an automaton click.
She said and did things an air of innocence hiding her malice indecently ribald that shook his firmest efforts to appear, to be, unconcerned. At last, in a volatile rage, she dismissed the servant with his tongs and pomatum and crimping leads, and swore to Charles Abbott that she was going to the Argentine by the first boat that offered passage.
Palmer," she said, flourishing her crimping fork tragically, "do you mean to say you went and invited Linda Grant here tomorrow? Linda Grant, of all women in this world!" "I did," said the teacher with penitent wretchedness. "It was very careless of me I am very sorry. What can I do? I'll go down and tell them I made a mistake if you like."

The role adopted by these last-named pretenders was a favourite one with men engaged in crimping for the merchant service.

This carpet feels mighty good to your bare feet, I'll make sure!" He presently made sure, walking back and forth barefooted across the soft floor, chuckling like a boy, and making his toes sink into the heavy pile of the great rug.
