It was not long before my scholars were ranged in chairs around the long table, with Webster's far-famed spelling-books before them, repeating audibly after me the letters of the alphabet. While I stood at one end of the table, my little Louis at the other, mounted on a chair, the better to command his division, mimicked me with a fidelity of tone and manner very quaint and charming.
He would even ridicule our own people; and once when he had been imitating their movements and their tones in praying, only to make others laugh, I could not restrain myself for I always had an anger in my heart about my mother and when we were alone, I said, 'Father, you ought not to mimic our own people before Christians who mock them: would it not be bad if I mimicked you, that they might mock you? But he only shrugged his shoulders and laughed and pinched my chin, and said, 'You couldn't do it, my dear."
'Why, you don't mean to say you're going to give me up, and not be friends with me, because we've come back to England? cried the girl in a rapid breath, eyeing him seriously. Most conscientiously he did not mean it! but he replied with the quietest negative. 'No? she mimicked him. 'Why do you say "No" like that? Why are you so mysterious, Evan?
The lad made a pitiful face, as though he were going to beg for alms, blinked, and said: "Kindly do something for me, Ivan Mikolaitch!" "It's no use saying 'Ivan Mikolaitch," the doctor mimicked him. "You were told to come on Monday, and you ought to obey. You are an idiot, and that is all about it." The doctor began seeing the patients.
When this interesting youth came home for his vacations, Major Pendennis was as laboriously civil and gracious to him as he was to the rest of the family; although the boy had rather a contempt for old Wigsby, as the major was denominated, mimicked him behind his back, as the polite major bowed and smirked with Lady Clavering or Miss Amory; and drew rude caricatures, such as are designed by ingenious youths, in which the major's wig, his nose, his tie, &c., were represented with artless exaggeration.
The girls adjusted their pretty panamas before the wide mirror while the boys picked up the bags and waited. "Is my hat on right, Allen, or should it be tilted a little more over the left eye?" mimicked Frank, as they watched the girls. "Or, perhaps it should be made to cover my face entirely?" "I think the latter with places for the eyes and nose," said Allen in the same tone of voice.
"I read it after you left last night, and I've come to the conclusion that there's something in it that may be of use to us." "Us!" Curtis ejaculated. "Yes! Us!" Hamar mimicked. "It contains full particulars of how we can get in touch with certain Occult Powers that can give us money or anything else we want!" "Rot, of course!" Curtis said. "You say that now. But, listen to me," Hamar replied.
"I was wondering why, while we are about it, we don't hire a brass band. We at least would not be obliged to listen to the same tune all the time. Does any one know of a way to put a mute on a harmonica?" "Ah reckon Ah do," mimicked Emma Dean, taking careful aim and shying a pebble at Wash.
And what boys are just towards their pedagogue? the twins grew speedily tired and even rebellious under their new teacher. They found him a bad scholar, a dull fellow, and ill-bred to boot. George knew much more Latin and Greek than his master; Harry, who could take much greater liberties than were allowed to his elder brother, mimicked Ward's manner of eating and talking, so that Mrs.
