Would you believe that, you cracked old piece of shoe-leather?" she asked with a laugh, slapping his knee with her hand. "I can believe it very well," said Lasse. "For you were as pretty a girl as might be when you left home." "Oh, you and your 'home'," she said, mimicking him.
For fifty weeks together, it is no more than a show for tourists and a museum of old furniture; but on the fifty- first, behold the palace reawakened and mimicking its past.
She had modeled herself on Mme. d'Espard without mimicking her; the Marquise had found a cousin worthy of her, and seemed to be proud of her pupil. The men and women on the footways all gazed at the splendid carriage, with the bearings of the d'Espards and Blamont-Chauvrys upon the panels.
It seemed to her she never opened the drawing-room door but she saw Langham at the piano, his head with its crown of glossy, curling black hair, and his eyes lit with unwonted gleams of laughter and sympathy, turned towards Rose, who was either chatting wildly to him, mimicking the airs of some professional, or taking off the ways of some famous teacher; or else, which was worse, playing with all her soul, flooding the house with sound now as soft and delicate as first love, now as full and grand as storm waves on an angry coast.

The sentry was now at the far end, which was lucky, for if the worst came to the worst he could throttle him.

"Who's there?" said Frank, mimicking the doctor's voice, as he yawned three or four times in succession and turned in the bed.
'And how do you know that Helen is a little cross, Dora, my dear? said he. 'Because she looks so, said Dora. 'And how do people look when they are a little cross, Dora? 'I do not know, answered Dora. 'Do they look so, my dear? said Rupert, mimicking poor Helen's woe-begone face in a very droll way. Dora laughed, and Helen was still more displeased. 'Dora, it is very naughty, said she.

"You had a serenade this morning, as if you were a princess." "A serenade!" exclaimed Pierrette. "A serenade!" said Sylvie, mimicking her; "and you've a lover, too." "What is a lover, cousin?" Sylvie avoided answering, and said:
Either in the noonday swelter or in the torchlit darkness it ought to be easy to pass from aping, mimicking and burlesquing Praetorians to personating and counterfeiting Praetorians.
