He appeared, in religious feeling, to approach the Evangelical party at more points than any other; pungently describing them, nevertheless, when he said "A good Christian, with a low understanding, a bad education, and ignorance of the world, becomes an Evangelical."

Fancy how Pitt's public, lately gloomy and dubious, blazed aloft into joyful certainty again! Pitt's outlooks have been really gloomy all this season; nor are the difficulties yet ended, though we hope they will end. Let us add this other bit of Synchronism, which is still of adverse aspect, over Seas; and will be pungently interesting to Pitt and England, when they come to hear of it.

After an interval, more figures made a rush across the road.
Feller remarked pungently, and their glances meeting, they saw in each other's eyes the joy of hell. "A pair of anarchists!" exclaimed Stransky grinning, and tried a shot for another head. As if in answer to prayer, a gunner had come out of the earth. Sufficient to the need was the fact.
We will quote here a stanza which contains quite a serious application of the pun; and for Hood's purpose no other word could so happily or so pungently express his meaning. The poem is an "Address to Mrs. Fry"; and the doctrine of it is, that it is better and wiser to teach the young and uncorrupted that are yet outside the prison than the vicious and the hardened who have got inside it.
