"Beware lest my love turns to hate!" mimicked Myra, and trilled out a laugh. "You are talking like a character in an old-fashioned melodrama. Should I play up to you by crying, 'Unhand me, villain, turning deathly pale, and screaming for help. Don't be absurd! ... We won't dance the encore.
"Please what?" he rather mimicked, advancing the exact distance of her withdrawal, the smile out on his never quite dry lips. "Please don't." The corpulency which was one day to envelop him like suet was already giving him the appearance of ten years his senior.
His brilliant satire probed, cut, jabbed like a surgeon's scalpel; or he railed, scolded, snarled, like a dyspeptic schoolmaster. Often he was in wretched taste. He mimicked, postured, sneered. But he had this millionaire congregation of his in hand. Fanny found herself smiling up at him, delightedly. Perhaps this wasn't religion, as she had been taught to look upon it, but it certainly was tonic.
Anne's illusions concerning proposals had suffered so much of late years that there were few of them left. So she could laugh wholeheartedly over this one, not feeling any secret sting. She mimicked poor Sam to Janet that night, and both of them laughed immoderately over his plunge into sentiment.
Returning to her native home, she spoke of things of which the gossips of the neighbourhood could not speak: she spoke of the Citadel, a fortress which no one could take, not even the Turks themselves; she spoke of the Pharos of Messina, which was beautiful, but dangerous for sailors; she spoke of Reggio in Calabria, which, facing the walls of Messina, seemed to wish to touch hands with them; and she remembered and mimicked the pronunciation of the Milazzesi, who spoke, Messia said, so curiously as to make one laugh.

Bates, who found that certain edible kinds exactly resembled a handsome and conspicuous but bitter-tasted species 'in every shade and stripe of colour. Several of these South American imitative insects long deceived the very entomologists; and it was only by a close inspection of their structural differences that the utter distinctness of the mimickers and the mimicked was satisfactorily settled.
"Yes, I'm the mistress of the house all right," said Gertie grimly. "Frank Taylor's an uncommonly handsome man, isn't he?" "I really haven't noticed." "What perfect nonsense!" mimicked Gertie. "Of course you've noticed. Any woman would notice him." "Then I must be different from other women." "Oh, no, you're not; you only think you are.
Any man could be managed like a child if he were really in love with one.... "Don't be a goose, Peter; do you suppose I'd have kissed you if " "If what what what?" he mimicked her ecstatically, not listening. She saw that if she wished to make him hear her she must put more distance between them, and she rose and moved across the room.
Schwab gave an appreciative chuckle. "No, I don't mean your chauffeur," he mimicked. "I mean," he declared theatrically in his best police-court manner, "the man who to-day is hoping to beat Tammany, Ernest Peabody!" Winthrop stared at the youth insolently.
