She was in high spirits, no doubt laughing within herself to see how every danger made my mother invoke M. Darpent, and finding in a tumult a sure means of meeting him, for she could trust to him to come and offer his protection.

"There is such a thing as silent contempt," says Mr. Browne, untouched by their darts. "There is also a passage somewhere that alludes to an 'unlettered small-knowing soul; I do not desire to quote it in this company. Let us return to the immortal Bill." But they are all laughing still, and in the face of laughter, it is difficult to get back to tragedy.

First of all assume a laughing position, in order to laugh properly and to secure the best results. Stand with feet far apart, and with the knees slightly bent.

Up to this time the girl had been half laughing. She was evidently amused by the gallantries of Tom and had met his advances with badinage, thinking he was in jest. However, when he grasped her hand and attempted to draw her towards him, she grew angry. "Let me go, Mr. Harbison. You are forgetting yourself." "I am not forgetting myself. I am just remembering myself.
Or: "Men have their part in the direction of the house, and women have theirs." Or, laughing at men who meddle in household affairs, she will affirm that "men do not understand some things."

"'Oh yes, I think he will I am sure of it, almost, I said; 'because I heard your aunt telling him she had some important letters to write, and he said he would take a walk in the garden till she was done.
Sometimes I argued as I have told, sometimes I tumbled along in moody vacuity, sometimes my torment was vivid and acute.
