He is the humourist of the wilderness the happiest, the best-natured, and altogether the mildest-mannered beast that ever drew breath. He talks and chatters and chuckles incessantly, and when he travels he walks like a huge animated pincushion; he is oblivious of everything about him as though asleep.
'I see no strangers out of consulting-hours. Tell her what the hours are, and send her away. 'I have told her, sir. 'Well? 'And she won't go. 'Won't go? The Doctor smiled as he repeated the words. He was a humourist in his way; and there was an absurd side to the situation which rather amused him. 'Has this obstinate lady given you her name? he inquired. 'No, sir.

Beauchamp asked Mr. Oggler whether that fellow was to be taken for a humourist or a five-pound-note man. 'It may be both, sir.
We shall be but a small party, only the Savarins, that unconscious sage and humourist Signora Venosta, and that dimple-cheeked Isaura, who embodies the song of nightingales and the smile of summer.

The apothecary, after some interjections of hesitation, owned there was a doctor in the village, an odd sort of a humourist; but he believed he had not much to do in the way of his profession, and was not much used to the forms of prescription. He was counted a scholar, to be sure, but as to his medical capacity he would not take upon him to say.
