There was a lot of talk that went on ... it was repartee.

The outfield here has large amount of clay content in the soil and as result it was slippery and too dangerous for the players.

You ought never to "sass" old people- unless they "sass" you first

Repartee is what you wish you'd said

Tell me, now, fairy as you are, - can't you give me a charm, or a philter, or something of that sort, to make me a handsome man?"
It would be past the power of magic, sir;" and, in thought, I added,"a loving eye is all the charm needed: to such you are handsome enough; or rather, your sternness has a power beyond beauty." Mr. Rochester had sometimes read my unspoken thoughts with an acumen to me incomprehensible: in the presnt instance he took no notice of my abrupt vocal response; but he smiled at me with a certain smile he had of his own, and which he used but on rare occasions. He seemed to think too good for common purpose: it was the real sunshine of feeling-he shed it over me now.

Silence is the unbearable repartee.
