Summary

This quote suggests that no matter how beautiful a woman may be, she is bound to feel insecure about her appearance at some point. The phrase "made mouths in a glass" refers to the act of scrutinizing one's own reflection in a mirror, emphasizing the self-critical nature of individuals, especially women, when it comes to their physical attractiveness. It captures the idea that even the most attractive women feel the need to examine themselves closely and may find flaws or imperfections that others might not notice.

The marquis de Carabas was not a good man, and he knew himself well enough to be perfectly certain that he was not a brave man. He had long since decided that the world, Above or Below, was a place that wished to be deceived, and, to this end, he had named himself from a lie in a fairy tale, and created himself--his clothes, his manner, his carriage--as a grand joke.There was a dull pain in his wrists and his feet, and he was finding it harder and harder to breathe. There was nothing more to be gained by feigning unconsciousness, and he raised his head, as best he could, and spat a gob of scarlet blood into Mr. Vandemar's face.It was a brave thing to do, he thought. And a stupid one. Perhaps they would have let him die quietly, if he had not done that. Now, he had no doubt, they would hurt him more. And perhaps his death would come the quicker for it.
