Her mother must have been beautiful. Mieze Maier just became sixteen. She had a big birthday celebration. Many beautiful and wicked girls and a number of young men were invited. Everyone was very silly. People whispered in each other's ears that Mieze was already sixteen. Then they laughed... Mieze Maier is beautiful. Also smart. Also talented. Very flirtatious. Graceful and slyly charming.
Ippolyte Ippolytovich was silent and indifferent, only at moments, half-closing and screwing up his eyes, and straightening out his lips, he laughed: "He-he! He-he!"

"Birt would tell mam ez I hed been a-foolin' with her shawl an' bonnet." Andy Byers still maintained a most incongruous gravity. "It warn't Birt's doin', at all?" he said interrogatively, and with a pondering aspect.
He darted a preparatory glance at Athos and Aramis, who slyly pushed their chairs a little back so as to leave themselves more space for action. He gave Porthos a second nudge of the knee and Porthos got up as if to stretch his legs and took care at the same time to ascertain that his sword could be drawn smoothly from the scabbard. "Hang it!" cried D'Artagnan, "another twenty pistoles lost.
I told de landlady you'se used to havin' things mighty nice, and den I found a hen's nest in de barn dis mornin'." "I hope you didn't take the eggs, Hannibal," said Edith slyly. "Sartin I did, Miss Edie, cause if I didn't de rats would." "Perhaps the landlady would also if you had shown them to her."
