His wit is never a weakness, therefore it is never a sense of humour.

or of Stevenson, shall we never shed blood? In short, he is not a humorist, but a great wit, almost as great as Voltaire.
speaker_1NARRATOR

Field's Library of Humor While in Germany, Gene had read up on ideas of humor and entertained the notion that a history of humor would prove a good seller.

Andy SamesNARRATOR
"Bite him, Fungus." Fungus, so-called because he is the son of Humor and Gustavus Adolphus, rose from his place on the hearth rug and, with a hoarse laugh, nuzzled against my leg, which is his way of biting those he loves.
Andy SamesNARRATOR
Then the most amiable of bulldogs, who has a passion for the human race, lay down on my foot and sighed heavily.
Andy SamesNARRATOR
But Madge evidently wanted to talk, and I pushed the chessboard away.
EmilyNARRATOR
I dialed Adam, forcing my voice steady.
