I wasn't doing it on purpose, but I'd followed her tirade so intently that my reaction was completely involuntary.
Mrs. van D. wheeled around and gave me a tongue-lashing: hard, Germanic, mean and vulgar, exactly like some fat, red-faced fishwife.

She struck me as so comical, that silly little scatterbrain!
