...conversation both William James and his father had a delightful sense of humor, a similar richness of vocabulary, and an equal individuality in its use. A peculiarity of both was the habit of delaying speech for an instant, while the mind was working and the telling sentence was framing itself for utterance--a brief interval during which the lips would gather slightly, as for a sort of smile, and the eyes and faces take on an indescribable expression of great charm.
