That drunken old bum of a Tavender writes some lunatic nonsense or other to Gafferson, and he's a worse idiot even than Tavender is, and on the strength of what one of these clowns thinks he surmises the other clown means, you go and spend your money, money I gave you, by the way, in bringing Tavender over here.

She should have sung something easier. Clown who had come near us meanwhile, remarked in his flippant tone: "Hello, dear Miss Su-chan, too bad to see your beau go away so soon." The geisha pouted, "I don't know." Clown, regardless, began imitating "gidayu" with a dismal voice, "What a luck, when she met her sweet heart by a rare chance...."

"The cities are often guilty of the same," said William, "forgetting how many angels they entertain unawares. Did ever a mortal man look more of the rustic clown than the country boy, Sam Johnson, when he first went to London? And could he not make dictionaries, and write Rasselas?"

The Bold Tin Soldier and his men stopped marching to listen to what the Calico Clown might say. The Candy Rabbit raised his big ears up straighter, so that he would miss nothing. The Lamb on Wheels gave herself a shake, seemingly so the kinks would come out of her woolly coat, and the Monkey on a Stick swung by his tail. "Yes, I'll tell you a joke," said the Calico Clown.

"I am sorry you feel that way about it, sir. If I was hasty I beg you will forgive me," urged Phil. Diaz turned his back on him. "Very well, sir," said the Circus Boy, a little proudly and with slightly heightened color, "I shall not trouble you again."

"The three rings are an abuse and an outrage, but I don't know but I object still more to the silencing of the clowns. They have a great many clowns now, but they are all dumb, and you only get half the good you used to get out of the single clown of the old one-ring circus.

"If you fellers will try to hold him, I'll get on his back, an' then Bob can get away." "But he'll throw you off, an' hurt you," objected Abner, trying to prevent his newly made friend from going. "I can stop him from doing that, an' it's the only way I know of to help Bob."
