"Dear, they would not become me," she said, the tenderness in her eyes deepening a little; and she touched his head lightly in humourous caress. "What shall we do with the waning daylight?" she asked. "It is my last day with you. I told Howard it was my last day with you, and I did not care to be disturbed." "You probably didn't say it that way," he commented, amused. "I did."
You could not divorce Father Richmond in your mind from the larger world outside; he spoke with its accent, he looked with his humourous, experienced eyes. You found it natural to think of him in very human relations. You wondered about his people, and what brought him to this. Not so with Brother Paul. He was one of those who suggest no country upon any printed map.
"Right," he said, with a humourous groan, "and I shall tell you who you are. I am afraid you are my amanuensis!" Tommy immediately whistled, a louder and more glorious note than before. "Don't be so cocky," cried Pym, in sudden rebellion. "You are only my amanuensis if you can tell me what that is. If you can't out you go!" He had him at last! Not he!
"Whatever you like, cara mia." And, standing by the piano, her arms hanging loose, she began a chant such as the peasants use working under the olives. Her voice was small and deep, with a peculiar thick sweetness that suited the song, half humourous, half pathetic. These were the words she sang: "Vorrei morir di morte piccinina, Morta la sera e viva la mattina.

One might have told him one's most subtly humourous story and rested certain of his smile.
There was war in the world down yonder war had been formally declared between America and Spain. Windy slapped his thigh in humourous despair. "Why hadn't he thought o' gettin' off a josh like that?"
The letter said plainly that he was engaged; what for he must find out slyly when he came to London. So he had put his letter firmly on Pym's table; but it was a staggerer to find that gentleman in possession of the others. One of these was Pym's by right; the remainder were a humourous gift from the agent who was accustomed to sift the correspondence of his clients.
The moose was driven, a peaceful captive with a wreath of cedar leaves around its neck the humourous conception of Gregory Thorne. Malbrouck had announced their coming by a blast from his horn, and Margaret was standing in the doorway wrapped in furs, which may have come originally from Hudson's Bay, but which had been deftly re-manufactured in Regent Street.
It was trained to many things like one servant in a large family. One side of his face was solemn, because of the gay but unchanging blue eye, the other was gravely humourous, shrewdly playful.
He has the dreadful snappish humourous way of recounting which impresses it; the table took up the subject of this remarkable young lady, and whether she was a lady of the neighbourhood, and who she could be that went abroad on foot in heavy rain. It was painful to me; I knew enough to be sure of who she was." "Did she betray it?" "No." "Did Willoughby look at her?" "Without suspicion then."
