Georges Cadoudal appeared in court with the miniature of Louis XVI. suspended round his neck, and gloried in the avowal of his resolution to make war personally on the usurper of the throne. The presiding judge, Thuriot, had been one of those who condemned the king to death. Georges punned on his name, and addressed him as "Monsieur Tue-Roi."
Large size, small size, present price, former price she had them all. "Dear me," said Mr. Deacon. "That is very nearly salmoney, isn't it?" "Herbert!" his Ina admonished, in gentle, gentle reproach. Mr. Deacon punned, organically. In talk he often fell silent and then asked some question, schemed to permit his vice to flourish. Mrs. Deacon's return was always automatic: "Herbert!"
As I grew older, I saw my power and indulged it; and, being scolded for sarcasm, I was flattered into believing I had wit; so I punned and jested, lampooned and satirized, till I was as much a torment to others as I was tormented myself. The secret of all this was that I was unhappy. Nobody loved me: I felt it to my heart of hearts. I was conscious of injustice, and the sense of it made me bitter.
Old companions, who, a very few years before, had punned and rhymed with him in garrets, had dined with him at cheap ordinaries, had sate with him in the pit, and had lent him some silver to pay his seamstress's bill, hardly knew their friend Charles in the great man who could not forget for one moment that he was First Lord of the Treasury, that he was Chancellor of the Exchequer, that he had been a Regent of the kingdom, that he had founded the Bank of England and the new East India Company, that he had restored the currency, that he had invented the Exchequer Bills, that he had planned the General Mortgage, and that he had been pronounced, by a solemn vote of the Commons, to have deserved all the favours which he had received from the Crown.
"This matter of suicide is horrible. Couldn't it have been prevented?" "Yes, if Fletcher could have got hold of Bullion." "Coin would have done as well, I suppose." "Now haven't I been successful in diverting your attention? You have actually punned. Don't you know Mr. Bullion, the capitalist?" "I have good reason to remember him, though I don't know him myself.
It was something that would have been accepted off-handedly by me. I had been in jail often, not for a cause, as I punned wretchedly, but be-cause. I did not accord hero-worship to Penton when he returned, as the women of the household did. For a week it quite reconciled Hildreth with him.... But on the first night of his absence Hildreth and I took a stroll together in the moonlight.
When they are to be vsed, they first water them vntill they be soft, and then being sod, they make a good victuall, either to eat so simply, or els being also punned to make loaues or lumps of bread. These be also the three kinds, of which I sayd before the inhabitants vsed to make sweet oile. Another sort is called Sapummener, which being boiled or parched, doth eat and taste like vnto Chesnuts.
Ceccarini has an Italian look, which is an advantage; and, you will pardon me for saying, is rather more imposing than Patching." The artist was sensitive touching his name. It had been punned upon in some of the comic papers.
For, of course, you know that the commanding officer in an army is designated as "K.O." "He means O.K." declared Jimmy. "Got his letters twisted; that's all. He means his wrist is all right." "His wrist is all right and his letter will be all write," punned Roger. "That will be about all from you!" commented Bob, sternly.
The greatest Authors, in their most serious Works, made frequent use of Punns. The Sermons of Bishop Andrews, and the Tragedies of Shakespear, are full of them. The Sinner was punned into Repentance by the former, as in the latter nothing is more usual than to see a Hero weeping and quibbling for a dozen Lines together.
