I have some sarcastic sides of me.
There's a real emphasis on being witty in Scotland, even in crime novels.
We prefer a person with vivacity and high spirits, though bordering upon insolence, to the timid and pusillanimous; we are fonder of wit joined to malice than of dullness without it.
That's the charm of Deadpool. He's charmingly annoying, and he'll be the first to admit that.
I'm not temperamentally into high comedy. I'm not a Noel Coward kind of girl.
Lots of people would say House doesn't have any charm at all. I would disagree, though: I find him immensely charming and endlessly entertaining. He has a sort of grace and a wit about him, and ultimately, I think he is on the side of the angels.
Imyself haveheard averygood jest, and havescornedto seem to have so sillya wit as to understand it.
