'Painters don't kick! she had said with scorn, while he had answered, though without conviction, 'Men-fainters do kick dreadfully. And she had simply laughed till her sides ached, while he lay there kicking till his muscles were sore, in the vain hope of winning her belief. He exchanged a glance with her now, as the Laugher slipped in past them. The eyes of the Guard were very soft.
The Humourist of mean order is a refreshing laugher, giving tone to the feelings and sometimes allowing the feelings to be too much for him. But the humourist of high has an embrace of contrasts beyond the scope of the Comic poet. Heart and mind laugh out at Don Quixote, and still you brood on him.
"Give me an honest laugher," Scott would say; and he himself laughed the heart's laugh. He had a kind word for everybody, and his kindness acted all round him like a contagion, dispelling the reserve and awe which his great name was calculated to inspire.
"Thee meanth Couthin Dick. He'th got Krithmath." "Where's your mother?" "Dead." "And your father?" "In orthpittal." There was a laugh somewhere on the outskirts of the crowd. Every one faced angrily in that direction, but the laugher had disappeared. Yuba Bill, however, sent his voice after him. "Yes, in hospital! Funny, ain't it? amoosin' place! Try it.
Pentaur was known as a mighty laugher among his companions, and his loud voice rung in the quiet room, when he discovered that his friend was about to put a third clean robe over two dirty ones, and wear no less than three dresses at once.

Our poor laugher having recovered his composure, Casanova, who had remained very serious, invited me to dinner for the next day with my young friend Paul Gennaro, who had already become my alter ego. When we called at his house, my worthy cousin showed me his family tree, beginning with a Don Francisco, brother of Don Juan.
In this presumptuousness we speedily discern a degree of egoism and, behind this latter, something less spontaneous and more bitter, the beginnings of a curious pessimism which becomes the more pronounced as the laugher more closely analyses his laughter. Here, as elsewhere, nature has utilised evil with a view to good.
There was the Gypsy, the Creature of the Gravel-Pit, the long-legged, long-armed thing from the Long Walk she could make her arm stretch the whole length like elastic the enormous Woman of the Haystack, who lived beneath the huge tarpaulin cover, the owner of the Big Cedar, and the owner of the Little Cedar, all treading fast upon one another's heels. From the Blue Summer-house came the Laugher.
Clinch, hurrying to make an end of his explanation, "while I was inadvertently overcome with liquor, drugged liquor." The laughter here was so uproarious that the baron, albeit with tears of laughter in his own eyes, made a peremptory gesture of silence. The gesture was peculiar to the baron, efficacious and simple. It consisted merely in knocking down the nearest laugher.
At this praise, to them so exaggerated, Miriam, pleased as she could not help feeling, broke into clear laugher, which both Ithiel and Nehushta echoed. Now, so wroth was he, the face of Marcus grew quite pale and stern. "It seems," he said severely, "that it is not I who mock. Tell me, lady, what do you with these things?" and he pointed to the statuettes. "I, sir?
