For Patty was sensitive, like her father, and dreaded a slight.
Even my little poll-parrots are no more...I don't think you knew them, by the way. They both died on the same day, as I always predicted they would. And Nejdanov... poor Nejdanov! I suppose you know " "Yes, I know," Mashurina interrupted him, still looking away. "And do you know about Ostrodumov too?" Mashurina merely nodded her head.
Did you know my poll-parrots?" "No, but you introduced us." "Well, then, introduce me. I don't suppose you have any secrets to talk over, and Golushkin is a hospitable man. You will see; he will be delighted to see a new face. We are not very formal here in S." "Yes," Markelov muttered, "I have certainly noticed an absence of formality about the people here." Paklin shook his head.
The children in the second act squeaked like nervous poll-parrots, and even Helen's sunny brow was darkened by a frown as her leading man stumbled along to a dead halt again and again. "Mr. Royleston," she said, with dismay and anger in her voice, "I beg of you to remember that this is a most serious matter."

And the host and hostess... imagine a husband and wife both very old, of the same age, without a wrinkle, chubby, round, neat little people, just like two poll-parrots; and kind to stupidity, to saintliness, there is no end to their kindness!
"And the sea-birds and fishes," said Max, "are to be considered as our subjects, I presume, since we have no man Friday, and no goats or poll-parrots to reign over." "Yes," said Johnny, "I suppose so; there are enough of them too."
Just as modern lunatics believe themselves to be china vases or poll-parrots, and think and behave as such, so it must have been easy, the Professor argues, for beings of superior intelligence to have exerted hypnotic influence upon the superstitious savages by whom they were surrounded, and who, intellectually considered, could have been little more than children. "Take Nebuchadnezzar."
As to the animals, there were none but the gentlest kind. Little white mice went peeping about with their wee pink eyes, pretty tame squirrels bounded from tree to tree, and a herd of graceful fawns fed and played in the meadows.
