Poor absent Jed's father, sent by the sufferer to report it all, stood at the back of the house while tears of pride and disappointment rolled down his cheeks pride that Jed had been so well represented, disappointment that it couldn't have been his son up there play-acting like that.
"We've been near a hundred years, we Frenchmen, eating dirt in the country we owned from the start; and I'd rather die fighting to get back the old citadel than live with the English heel on my nose," said Lavilette, with a play-acting attempt at oratory. "Yes, an' dey call us Johnny Pea-soups," said Castine, with a furtive grin.
"It's a wonder Mungo kept his word and went to bed," said the Baron, recovering his ordinary manner, "for it would just suit his whim to bide up and act sentry here, very well pleased at the chance your coming gave him of play-acting the man of war."

Lakamba said he was unworthy of the honourable burden, and Patalolo insisted. Poor old fool! It must have been bitter to him. They made him actually entreat that scoundrel.

She remembered how the neighbours had all respected Mrs.
To begin chattering away to her acquaintances, as if no Fanqua existed in the world. It was a piece of admirable play-acting; and was meant to be. She had been conscious all the while that she was an object of attention possibly of admiration to a group of men; and she knew what was right to be done and said under the circumstances, and did it perfectly, even to the smallest change of voice.
