Price herself, who received in person their orders for an incongruous meal, neither dinner nor supper, to recruit them for some gala in which they had the prospect of figuring, to judge from a torrent of exclamations which pierced through a convenient cupboard in the partition. "Make haste, girls," in bass tones. "Eat away, Fiddy," in treble, mimicking the bass.
So Becky bowed Jos out of her little garret with as much grace as if it was a palace of which she did the honours; and that heavy gentleman having disappeared down the stairs, Max and Fritz came out of their hole, pipe in mouth, and she amused herself by mimicking Jos to them as she munched her cold bread and sausage and took draughts of her favourite brandy-and-water.
She makes her preparations to be irresistibly fascinating to Adolphe. Women possess a power of mimicking pudicity, a knowledge of secrets which might be those of a frightened dove, a particular register for singing, like Isabella, in the fourth act of Robert le Diable: "Grace pour toi! Grace pour moi!" which leave jockeys and horse trainers whole miles behind. As usual, the Diable succumbs.
"Why, we haven't got in our lower deck guns yet, booby, let alone our powder and ammunition; besides all sorts of stores we could not ship in harbour!" "Oh!"

Repeating the dialogue between the muleteers, and mimicking their tones and gestures, served as pastime to beguile the way until they reached Toledo.

"For, my senses! they're no stray lambs o' tenderfoot those 'twa bit lassies'!" mimicking Andrew's blowpipe. "They know how to take care of themselves in a pinch and of somebody else, too!... And and, see here, what I've brought you, honey, rolled in the blanket for him!" "Cake choc'late cake! C-coffee!" Una gasped feebly, confronted by the ghost of her everyday life.
"AND the doctor's son!" said Anne, mimicking Miss Cornelia's tone. Then she laughed. "Dear Miss Cornelia, they're only little children. And you KNOW they've never yet done anything bad they're just heedless and impulsive as I was myself once. They'll grow sedate and sober as I've done." Miss Cornelia laughed, too.
Joey walked by his new acquaintance a few yards, when the lad turned to him, "I say, did your master whop you much?" "No," replied Joey. "Well, then, that's more than I can say of mine, for he was at it all day. Hold out your right hand, now your left," continued he, mimicking; "my eyes! how it used to sting.
Are you not going to tell me anything, when I have turned my heart out to you like a bag? Chere enfant! how happy you must be!" she said, embracing her. "Yes, I am very happy," said Mary, with calm gravity. "Very happy!" said Madame de Frontignac, mimicking her manner. "Is that the way you American girls show it, when you are very happy? Come, come, ma belle! tell little Virginie something.
"Good evening," answered Cornish, mimicking the sing-song accent of the Scheveningen streets. They walked on in silence. "Whew!" ejaculated Roden, when the danger seemed to be past, and they could breathe again. They went down a flight of steps to the beach, and stumbled across the soft sand towards the sea.
