'Let me see, said the legal authority. 'What was I a-saying, gentlemen? 'I think you was remarkin' as you wouldn't have no objection to another o' the same, Sir, said Mr. Weller, with grave facetiousness. 'Ha, ha! laughed Mr. Pell. 'Not bad, not bad. A professional man, too!
Father Roche now addressed himself to Beatty, and prepared him for his great change, as became a pious and faithful minister of the gospel. Beatty, however, was never capable of serious impressions. Still, his feelings were as solemn as could be expected, from a man whose natural temperament had always inclined him to facetiousness and humor.
And like a woman, they wither when you pick 'em, eh? And see these little cheats pale people catch flies know why they call 'em that? Stuck all over with false honey to snare the moths stew the poor devils to death in sweetness eh, now, isn't that a woman for you?" Spreading his broad palms, the Senator shook noiselessly at his own facetiousness.
It is owing to this that he preserved his judgment free and unembarrassed in the most trying situations, and enjoyed an uncommon presence of mind and facetiousness of temper in the most imminent dangers of war. I shall not attempt to draw his portrait: his person has been described by Bussi and St. Evremond, authors more entertaining than faithful.

As the glass moved, I saw that part of the picture was painted on it in Chinese white, notably a pair of white whiskers and a clerical collar.
A novelist, therefore, who uses the imaginary facts, like Sterne and Dickens, as mere pegs on which to hang specimens of his own sensibility and facetiousness, becomes disgusting. When, he remarks, you have said of a friend 'he is dead, all other observations become superfluous and impertinent. He, therefore, considers 'Robinson Crusoe' to represent the ideal novel.
When a Puritan died his friends conspired in mournful concert, or labored individually and painfully, to bring forth as tributes of grief and respect, rhymed elegies, anagrams, epitaphs, acrostics, epicediums, and threnodies; and singularly enough, seemed to reserve for these gloomy tributes their sole attempt at facetiousness.
