"Mare!" exclaimed the incorrigible punster, delighted with my mistake: "I thought that you would have been better acquainted with your propria quoe maribus." "Humph!" said Wormwood, "when I look at you I am always at least reminded of the as in praoesenti!" Lord Vincent drew up and looked unutterable anger.
In short, nature had intended the spot for picnics. There was fine water, and an interesting tradition; and as the parties always bring, or always should bring, a trained punster, champagne, and cold pasties, what more ought Nature to have provided? "Come, Mrs. Lorraine, I will tie Gypsey to this ash, and then you and I will rest ourselves beneath these birch-trees, just where the fairies dance."
I imagine our literary friend thinks that a punster draws the steel blade of his intellect, discovers some close-mouthed, hard-fisted sort of a word or sentence doubled up like an oyster and deliberately splits it apart, one shell on one side, one on the other and the soft thing drops out between. I could only despise the sort of brain that would do such a deed.
Mountstuart as she was passing over to Dr Middleton. "My dear lady! spare me a minute." De Craye sauntered up, with a face of the friendliest humour: "Never was man like you, Willoughby, for shaking new patterns in a kaleidoscope." "Have you turned punster, Horace?"

In the days when he was a briefless barrister, Thurlow was a frequent visitor here, attracted, it is said, as were so many more of the legal fraternity, by the dual merits of the punch and the physical charms of the landlady's daughter. Miss Humphries was, as a punster put it, "always admired at the bar by the bar." The future Lord Chancellor had no cause to regret his patronage of Nando's.
as Juvenal says: au revoir," and away went Lord Vincent, half forgetting all his late anxiety for my life, in his paternal pleasure for the delivery of his quotation. Vincent is the only punster I ever knew with a good heart.
After the excitement had partially subsided, the punster of the village there is always one punster in every community broke out with: "Oh, swallow, swallow, flying South, fly to her and tell her what I tell to thee." The girls laughed; I looked and saw Belle trying to wipe the ice-cream from her sash. "Never mind the sash, Miss Marigold," I said, in desperation, "I'll send you another to-morrow.
On inquiry if there way no provision for females, my friend called my attention to this remarkable psychological fact, namely: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FEMALE PUNSTER. This remark struck me forcibly, and on reflection I found that I never knew nor heard of one, though I have once or twice heard a woman make a single detached pun, as I have known a hen to crow.
Weller the utmost delight, for he replied in a voice choked by suppressed laughter, and with the tears in his eyes, 'Wos I a talkin' about hearts and piercers, wos I though, Sammy, eh? 'Wos you? of course you wos. 'She don't know no better, Sammy, there ain't no harm in it, no danger, Sammy; she's only a punster. She seemed pleased, though, didn't she?
