Antonia stood close to Cecil's side, and chatted vivaciously to him not with him; for her words seemed to have no correlation with his. "Quite like the going away of a bridal party!" said she with exaggerated gayety, and with a little spitefulness, I thought.
He had grown noticeably greyer since we parted from him, and was bent and thin, and he lisped when he spoke; one of his front teeth had gone; and this lisp gave still greater asperity to his words.... His spitefulness had not decreased with years, but his sallies were less lively, and he more frequently repeated himself. Mihailo Mihailitch was not at home; they were expecting him in to tea.
