My mother has been seeing P 's picture of my father in Macbeth this morning, and you never heard anything funnier than her rage at it: "A fat, red, round, staring, pudsy thing! the eyes no more like his than mine are!" Why, it was as notorious as Samson's!" Good-by. Your affectionate The little box on the stage I have alluded to in this letter as Mrs.
To have one's bedroom invaded at an early hour by a chambermaid who, apparently quite oblivious of the fact that the bed was still occupied by a male, proceeded to draw the curtains, bring the hot water and fill the tin tub for my bath, was astonishing and funny enough, Hephzibah's comments on the proceeding were funnier still.
"Here I am," she said the next morning, when Miss King had pronounced it mumps. "Oh, Poll!" Lois was delighted. "You look funnier than I do. Only one side is swelling and it makes you look top heavy." Polly surveyed herself in the mirror. "That's easily fixed," she said. "Watch!" She undid her hair and rolled it into a round knob under one ear. "There, now it's even."
Blood tells, no doubt, and a masterpiece usually betrays some token of the place and hour of its birth. A knowledge of the condition of political parties in Athens in 416 B.C. adds immensely to the enjoyment of the readers of Aristophanes; the fun becomes funnier and the daring even more splendid than before. Molière's training as an actor does affect the dramaturgic quality of his comedies.
"To teach you to speak and write correctly, so that you can be understood," said Mrs. Garth, with severe precision. "Should you like to speak as old Job does?" "Yes," said Ben, stoutly; "it's funnier. He says, 'Yo goo' that's just as good as 'You go." "But he says, 'A ship's in the garden, instead of 'a sheep," said Letty, with an air of superiority.
She made her first appearance in the streets upon something very like a Newfoundland dog, guarded from the rear by Jim, and from the fore by a white-faced clown who was thought to be all the funnier because he twisted his neck so much. From the street parade to Polly's first appearance in the "big top," had seemed a short while to Jim and Toby.
I longed for a notebook while those two men were talking, to put everything down, and I felt, if people were often going to be as funny as that, I should need to go home soon to rest my features. I'm not sure whether Americans really think funnier things than English people do, but their funny ideas are startlingly unlike ours. Somehow they seem younger and more bubbling.
If Shakespeare's spirit, as manifested in this Play, had been more influential practically, do you think a different road would have been taken? How far is Berowne to be taken as the spokesman of Shakespeare? Why does so frolicsome a Comedy end so seriously? Does that make it funnier? Is there really a moral in the Play in favor of nature and sincerity or is it merely read into it?
Goes down sessions to see that they don't get too gumptious and kick off the swaddlin' clothes." "And was that his wife?" Wetherell asked, hesitatingly. "Aunt Listy, they call her. Nobody ever knew how he come to marry her. Jethro went up to Wisdom once, in the centre of the state, and come back with her. Funny place to bring a wife from Wisdom!

And then a still funnier thing happened, for David began to trot in a circle around St. Pierre, dodging and feinting, and keeping always at a safe distance.
