With a strong tendency to satire, but without a particle of malice or ill-nature in its display. Gay, by his strokes of pleasantry, whether in his writings or conversation, never lost a friend. On the contrary, he was a universal favourite, and numbered amongst his intimate acquaintances the choicest spirits of the time, Pope, Swift, Arbuthnot, and "all the better brothers."
Elinor looked at Jane, to see if she seemed to sympathize in Adeline's story; but her cousin's beautiful face was still bright with the glow of pleasure from meeting her friend; no other thought or feeling was to be traced there. "I don't believe they have any such fun in Paris, Mr. Hazlehurst." "Not exactly. They have a pleasantry of their own, however, which is quite agreeable."
I then perceived that within it was an oblong package carefully tied up in oiled silk, and on bending down to examine the package more closely I perceived that it was directed to Susan. With a dogged resolve to follow out Gregory Wilkinson's hideous pleasantry to the bitter end, I lifted the package out of the box it was pretty heavy and began to open it.
He carried his gaiety even to genius, and under that pleasantry of his whole life we may perceive a grave power of perseverance and conviction. Such was the character of this great man.

He seemed to be amusing them both, and they were both amused beyond the merit of so small a pleasantry, Beaton thought, when Fulkerson said: "Introduce myself, Mr. Beaton: Mr. Fulkerson of 'Every Other Week. Think I've met you at our place." The girls laughed, and Alma explained that her mother was not very well, and would be sorry not to see him.
The latter stared at it and then at his wife. "Will any one take some of the flowers?" he asked at last, in ponderous pleasantry. "I think we all had better take some, father," said Roger. "I would not have believed that so little a thing could have made so great a difference." "Well, what is the difference?"
"Scarcely worth remembering, I fancy," she replied; and then made some observation about Mrs. Hubbard, to turn the conversation. The raillery and pleasantry of a man with no more tact, or true delicacy, than William Cassius Clapp, was more than even Elinor's sweet temper could have borne. Mr. Wyllys had taken a seat near Mrs. Taylor. "We have not seen all your young people yet, I believe, Mrs.
My uncle Toby, tho' in the utmost distress for a comparison, most courteously refused Trim's offer till Trim telling him, he had half a dozen more in Bohemia, which he knew not how to get off his hands my uncle Toby was so touch'd with the pleasantry of heart of the corporal that he discontinued his dissertation upon gun-powder and begged the corporal forthwith to go on with his story of the King of Bohemia and his seven castles.
"You have met him only once, I think. He came to the house one afternoon, about a year ago, with that Mr. Barr who dines here sometimes." "Oh!" I cannot give a precise idea of that ejaculation. It was a strange mixture of pleasantry and consternation. "He is by profession a poet, and a philosopher.
But perhaps this has been a wrong impression. If the authors are alive, it is due to the public that they should rise and explain. Enough of pleasantry.
