priss

Amina keeps her musical activities a secret from her devout school friends, forcing the already nervous priss into a double life.

In those hours beside Mark, Priss completed the transition from girl to woman.

Priss read it over his shoulder, and afterwards she clung close to Joel.

Joel was below, in the cabin with Priss, when his brother boarded the ship.

“My dear Priss,” he said, in the elder-brother manner he affected toward her.

Priss had planned to go ashore in the afternoon; but Mark dissuaded her.
