Then all at once we heard Jack and Cuffy, and, I tell you! soon there was more fun, when our big dogs sprang at them. Every time an Eskimo was tackled by Jack or Cuffy he went down, and was soon howling from the way in which he was shaken. And they had nearly thrashed the whole of them when papa and Kennedy came rushing up. I wished they had been there sooner, to have seen all the fun."
Black has just told me about that fair," said Wesley. "Say, do you know, I loathe the idea of it?" "Why? A fair is no end of fun. We always have them." "Beggary." "Nonsense!" "Yes, it is. I might just as well put on some black glasses, get a little dog with a string, and a basket, and done with it." The girl giggled.
And, by this, "the boarders" had assembled, and we found ourselves at breakfast in a cheery company of three workmen, who were as bright and full of fun as boys out for a holiday. They were presently joined by a fourth, a hearty, middle-aged man, who, as he sat down, greeted us with: "I feel just like singing this morning." "Good for you!" said one of us. "That's the way to begin the day."
'She's no that fat, Macgregor remarked without interest. Then suddenly 'Here! What are ye efter? 'Her! She's fat when ye're close to her. Come on! I'll introjuice ye. 'Thenk ye! I'm no takin' ony. 'Jist for fun. I want to see her face when she sees me again. 'Weel, I'll no prevent ye. So long. At that moment the girl was held up at a busy crossing. 'Hullo, Maggie! said Willie pertly.
In literature, when we want to be even hysterically diverted, we must, as a rule, buy our fun from the American humorists. If we cannot make laughter ourselves, at least we can, and do, laugh with them. A vast amount of American humour may be called local and middle-class.
She is not used to hard work; she is soft; she is used to tea and white bread and sheets on her bed. . . . At home she used to play the piano. . . . She is young, not twenty yet. . . . She would like, to be sure, to be smart, to have fun, go out to see people. . . . And she is worse off with me than any cook; she is ashamed to show herself in the street. My God, my God!
"And he isn't crazy?" "Not in the very least." "Well, I've had my doubts. I am glad to hear you say that. I want to think mighty well of the man who leads me. That Romney trip now? of course, I only heard Loring's side. He doesn't just wind in and out of mountains for the fun of doing it?" "I think that, generally speaking, he has some other object in view, sir.
Why write a book at all when you know that day after tomorrow some one will come along and refute all the theories and mangle the facts? These science chaps must spend a great deal of their time changing their intellectual clothing. It would be great fun to come back a hundred years from now and read the books on science, psychology, and pedagogy.
The wealth of homely humour in these plays, the fun coming straight home to all the world, of Fluellen especially in his unconscious interview with the king, the boisterous earthiness of Falstaff and his companions, contribute to the same effect. The keynote of Shakespeare's treatment is indeed expressed by Henry the Fifth himself, the greatest of Shakespeare's kings.
"Take an old one, and I don't care if she falls out. She wouldn't be too heavy for Splash to pull." "I'll try it," Bunny said. Once again he tied the ropes about Splash, and the little express wagon, and this time, when Bunny walked along beside the dog, Splash really did pull the wagon along, giving the doll a ride. But Bunny did not think this was much fun.
