Sometimes they sang in chorus or danced together; sometimes they sought shelter from the cold beneath the trees; sometimes they decorated themselves with flowery garlands, sometimes with peacocks' feathers; sometimes they stained themselves of various hues with the minerals of the mountain; sometimes weary they reposed on beds of leaves, and sometimes imitated in mirth the muttering of the thundercloud; sometimes they excited their juvenile associates to sing, and sometimes they mimicked the cry of the peacock with their pipes.
I told him that I thought it a very bad game, and that I hoped the police would have the thief and the necklace soon. 'It's been managed a deal too well for that, Lord George; don't you think so?" Lord George mimicked the Jew as he repeated the words, and the ladies, of course, laughed. But poor Lizzie's attempt at laughter was very sorry.
"The Chevalier hastily stripped him and put on his clothes, mimicked his walk, and, thanks to the early hour and the undoubting confidence of the warders of the great gate, he walked out and away." It did not seem to strike either the lawyer or Madame de la Baudraye that there was in this narrative the least allusion that should apply to them.
"Think of a doll that can talk!" cried Faith. "I think she bleats," laughed Ernest, and he mimicked Vera's staccato tones. Faith laughed, too, but Gladys gave him a flash of her brown eyes. "A boy doesn't know anything about dolls," said Faith. "I should think you'd be the happiest girl, Gladys!" "I am," returned Gladys complacently. "What sort of a doll have you, Faith?"
The whole design was in squares the gradations of red and greens, the curves of the smallest buds all was contrived in squares, with a result that mimicked a fragment of uncompromising Axminster carpet.
Some natives stayed on the shore all night, lighted fires and sang songs in anticipation of the coming dance. Our boys mimicked them, laughed at them and felt very superior, though we whites failed to see much difference, and, as a matter of fact, a short time after having returned home these boys can hardly be told from ordinary bushmen.
"I'm democratic enough, when it comes to that, and I associate with a good many fellows whose fathers don't stand as high in the community as mine does." "That's really kind of you," mimicked Ben Badger, with another look of disgust at the rich lawyer's son. "Of course, you feel just as though anything that your father may have accomplished puts you in a rather more elect lot."
You all at once forgot the bright wings of the paroquet, and the beautiful form of the oriole; the red-bird, the blue-jay, and the wakon, were alike forgotten, and you gazed upon this sweet musician with delight and admiration. As you continued to listen, you would notice that he mimicked almost every sound that occurred within hearing.
Fogarty go on 'Oh, the goodness of him!" and she mimicked the good woman's dialect. "'If Tod'd been his own child he couldn't a-done more for him. That's the way she talks. I heard, doctor, ye never left him till daylight. You're a wonder." The doctor touched his hat and drove on. Miss Gossaway's sharp, rasping voice and incisive manner of speaking grated upon him.
You heard him yourself ask to see it. I had not told him. He knew. Somebody else told him. And I owed him the money." "Mapuhi is a fool," mimicked Ngakura. She was twelve years old and did not know any better. Mapuhi relieved his feelings by sending her reeling from a box on the ear; while Tefara and Nauri burst into tears and continued to upbraid him after the manner of women.
