One relates to a venerable dish of peas, served up at Sir Joshua's table, which should have been green, but were any other color. Goldsmith, delighted with the pun, endeavored to repeat it at Burke's table, but missed the point. "That is the way to make 'em green," said he. Nobody laughed. He perceived he was at fault. "I mean that is the road to turn 'em green."

"Where are you from?" inquired Anthony. He knew, but beauty had rendered him thoughtless. "Kansas City, Missouri." "They put her out the same time they barred cigarettes."
"Non es emperador, es empeorador," was the pun popularly repeated by Mexican wags.* Six months had not elapsed since the regent Almonte had turned over to the young Emperor the quasi-consolidated empire conquered by Marshal Bazaine, and thinking men already foresaw the end. Never did the tide of success turn so rapidly. * "Ce n'est pas un empereur; c'est un empireur."
A pun upon the term lieger ambassador. 13th. By appointment, we all went this morning to wait upon the Duke of York, which we did in his chamber, as he was dressing himself in his riding suit to go this day by sea to the Downs. He is in mourning for his wife's grandmother, which is thought a great piece of fondness. "Fondness it were for any, being free, To covet fetters, tho' they golden be."
Cadiz was defended by the fort of San Sebastian on one side and that of San Felipe on the other; while the fort of Pun tales, on the long spit of sand connecting the city with the mainland, defended the channel leading up to Puerto Real, and covered by its guns the Spanish galleys and ships of war anchored there.
One of the four Jerries, he added, was of gigantic magnitude. The play on words was brought out by an accidental remark of Solomons, the well-known Banker. "Capital punishment!" the Jew was overheard saying, with reference to the guilty parties.

Wherefore keep a good heart and high hopes. However, I will keep you constantly informed on particular events as they occur from day to day. Statius had been manumitted by Quintus Cicero, and there had been much talk about it, as we have already heard. Prof. Tyrrell, who writes the town Blandus, would read molliorem for nobiliorem, and imagines a pun on the meaning of Blandus.
He makes a very good thing out of managing their affairs, which want a man of mark to see about them." "Ha! ha! do you see the pun, mademoiselle?" asked Poiret. "This gentleman calls himself a man of mark because he is a marked man branded, you know."
I heard that he was sublimely happy, and had eaten such a breakfast that dinner was impossible; claret and cold chicken, cake and" "Cake at breakfast!" they all interjected., "That seems to be his fancy just now."
