She laughed so heartily that her chin and nose met, hiding her lips, and emphasizing two wrinkles, or rather two deep furrows, and more than a dozen lines on her cheeks and eyelids; at the same time her head and body shook with the laughter, until at last her cough began to interrupt the bursts, and between laughing and coughing the old lady involuntarily spluttered all over my face. SHE LAUGHED SO HEARTILY THAT HER CHIN AND NOSE MET HIDING HER LIPS AND EMPHASIZING TWO WRINKLES OR RATHER TWO DEEP FURROWS AND MORE THAN A DOZEN LINES ON HER CHEEKS AND EYELIDS AT THE SAME TIME HER HEAD AND BODY SHOOK WITH THE LAUGHTER UNTIL AT LAST HER COUGH BEGAN TO INTERRUPT THE BURSTS AND BETWEEN LAUGHING AND COUGHING THE OLD LADY INVOLUNTARILY SPLUTTERED ALL OVER MY FACE

"I am not a little boy," I exclaimed, drawing myself up, and standing on tiptoes; "I don't care for sweets." My aunt looked at me half good-humoredly and half ironically, and at last, giving way to the feeling of amusement I caused her, burst out laughing, by which she disfigured herself, and exposed the horrible anatomy of her jaws. BAG THREE OR FOUR GUM LOSINGES STICKING TOGETHER IN A CAKE WHICH GAVE ME A FEELING OF NEW ZEA MY AUNT'S APPEARANCE DID NOT INVITE ONE TO OPEN ONE'S MOUTH AND DEVOUR THESE SWEETS THE COURSE OF YEARS HER LOSS OF TEETH HER EYES DIMMED TO AN UNUSUAL DEGREE THE SPROUTCHING OF A MOUSTACHE OR BRISTOLS ON HER SUNKEN MOUTH WHICH WERE THREE INCHES WIDE DULL GRAY LOCKS FLUTTERING ABOVE HER SALLOW TEMPLES A NECK FLAXID AND LIVID IN THE CREST OF THE TURKEY WHEN IN A GOOD TEMPER IN SHORT I DID NOT TAKE THE LOZENGES ACH A FEELING OF INDIGNATION A MANLY PROTEST ROSE IN ME AND I SAID FORCIBLY I DO NOT WANT IT I DON'T WANT IT YOU DON'T WANT IT WHAT A WONDER YOU WHO ARE GREEDIER THAN A CAT I'M NOT A LITTLE BOY I EXCLAIMED DRAWING MYSELF UP AND STANDING ON TIPTOES I DON'T CARE FOR SWEETS MY AUNT LOOKED AT ME HALF GOOD HUMOUREDLY AND HALF IRONICALLY AND AT LAST GIVING WAY TO THE FEELING OF AMUSEMENT I CAUSED HER BURST OUT LAUGHING BY WHICH SHE DISFIGURED HERSELF AND EXPOSED THE HORRIBLE ANATOMY OF HER JAWS
