On shore Good is a gentle, mild-mannered man, and given to jocosity; but, as we found to our cost, Good in a boat was a perfect demon. To begin with, he knew all about it, and we didn't.
It is lyrical and sane, though not particularly modern, and certainly not revolutionary in spirit. The second movement, a romanza, shows more contrapuntal resource, and is full of a deep yearning and appeal, an extremely beautiful movement. The scherzo evinces a taking jocosity with a serious interval. The piano part is especially humorous.
He treated her as a comrade, an equal, and she could not help noticing the difference in his tone toward her and that he had adopted towards the others, nor could she help being flattered by the implied compliment. She was exempt from his raillery. All along he inferred that she understood him, and accepted his veneer of jocosity and insincerity at its true value.
The gentleman at the head of the table said, "They ought to have fans going there by that pillar, or else close the ports. They only let in heat." They easily conformed to the American convention of jocosity in their talk; it perhaps no more represents the individual mood than the convention of dulness among other people; but it seemed to make the young man feel at home.
"But, after all," he added with unpleasant jocosity, "if I am behind my time, it's not for you to complain: I made you a present of three hours." "I don't want extra hours as a present from you, and you can't make me a present... you fool!" "What?" Pyotr Stepanovitch was startled, but instantly controlled himself. "What huffiness!
"I'll change you for the time being into a god yourself, if you wish." I laughed at the idea. "A high old god I'd make," said I. "You'd pass," he observed, quietly. "I'll call you Pencillius, god of Chirography or would you rather come as Nonsensius, the newly discovered deity of Jocosity?" "I think I'd rather be Zero, god of Nit," said I, and it was so ordained.
"You're a fool, Misther O'Shaughnessy! Why didn't you take the kiss, an' spare the king's English?" On making this observation she redoubled her pace, and left Denis now perfectly sensible that he was a proper subject for her mirth. He turned about, and called after her "Had I known that you were only in jocosity, Miss Nora, upon my classicality, I'd have given you the k ."
"Mr. Longueville is growing very frivolous," she said, "coming to the Kursaal at all sorts of hours." "There is nothing frivolous in coming here with the hope of finding you," the young man answered. "That is very serious." "It would be more serious to lose Miss Evers than to find her," remarked Captain Lovelock, with gallant jocosity. "I wish you would lose me!" cried the young girl.
My author is no more the friend of honesty in adsmithing than he is of propriety, He deprecates jocosity in apothecaries and undertakers, not only as bad taste, but as bad business; and he is as severe as any one could be upon ads that seize the attention by disgusting or shocking the reader.
"'Depend upon it, said he, 'you will be a luminary. The morning star will be but a farthing candle to you; and if you take in the learning as you do the cheese, in a short time there won't be a man in Munsther fit to teach you, and he laughed, for you see he had a tendency to jocosity. "He did not give me up here, however, being determined to go deeper wid me.
