Dec 1 / 66/ Children laugh out of joy of Hearts ─
A man smiles to show pleasure
at meeting acquaintance ─
then laugh to show surprise & scorn
Pleasure with some surprise & no deeper emotion no one wd laugh if he heard that a big fortune begot. ─ A dog has joy ─ bark, but he does not utter this when he wins game or food
(The brow does slightly fall in smiling)
