George had laughed at me, they said; never had had a moment's doubt of the young lady's sentiments; had often jested about me, and expressed his pity for my 'silly presumption; had even amused himself and the young lady, by mimicking my peculiarities, and raising a laugh at my expense.
Yo impident little toad! And in a perfect frenzy of rage he shook what she held. But Louie for naturally it was Louie wrenched herself away, and stood confronting him, panting, but exultant. 'I freetened 'em! just didn't I? Cantin humbugs! "Jenny Crum! Jenny Crum!" And, mimicking the voice of the leader, she broke again into an hysterical shout of laughter.
Let English women be sure that the best way to understand the heroines of the Continent is not by mimicking them, however noble they may be, not by trying to become a sham Rahel, or a sham De Sevigne, but a real Elizabeth Fry, Felicia Hemans, or Hannah More.
Alleyne had overheard him mimicking his North of Ireland accent to amuse Higgins and Miss Parker: that had been the beginning of it. He might have tried Higgins for the money, but sure Higgins never had anything for himself. A man with two establishments to keep up, of course he couldn't....

He's too much of a coward to have anything to do with it," he added, mimicking Sam's tone. The boat-builder's son reddened, but said nothing in reply to the bully's taunt. "Well, three, then," went on Hank; "that's not percentage enough for me.
She sat on a low stool and told us about her life in Petersburg, and imitated famous singers, mimicking their voices and mannerisms; then she sketched the doctor and myself in her album, not very well, but both were good likenesses.
This nimble, freckled jackanapes is Harlequin; not your spangled Harlequin into which modern degeneracy has debased that first-born of Momus, but the genuine original zany of the Commedia, ragged and patched, an impudent, cowardly, blackguardly clown." "Each one of us, as you perceive," said Harlequin, mimicking the leader of the troupe, "is designed by Nature for the part he plays."
"`Mrs Skrimmage's compliments to the gentlemen of the gun-room mess," cried one of the midshipmen, mimicking, which was followed by a roar of laughter, when the quarter-master again made his appearance.
