"Go along, I can't bother talking to you any more," said the clown, as all this time Mike had been walking beside the clown as they marched. "Well, you need not talk to me any more," said Mike, "but I am going to have my goat." And with that he caught hold of Billy's horns and was going to lead him away. "Here, take your hands off that goat, you are stopping the procession!"
Your gravity would not wound me though I were chief clown to the whole universe, and yours were the only grave face in the world. By the by, you are laughing, I see. I am much obliged for the appreciation. Shall I go on being funny?" "Not if you can help it," said Hermione. "Do you insinuate that I am naturally an object for laughter?" asked Cutter, smiling.
The clown was foolish enough to be caught stealing... and anyway this is not the first time His Highness has been inside, he has already done three years in gaol somewhere, and... hang on!... I believe it was in Tarascon! "In Tarascon!" Cried Tartarin, suddenly enlightened, "that is why I never saw him there. All he knew of Tarascon was what he could see from a cell window."
Our clown attacked a student with his bass-drum, one end of which burst in, imprisoning the representative of the seat of learning, who found it impossible to extricate himself from his musical predicament. Sam Palmer, with his fish-horn, did tremendous execution; while Jack Adams was equally effective with his dinner-bell which, at every blow, sounded forth a note of warning.
The fool or clown in Shakspeare's comedies is far more of an ironical humorist than a mimical buffoon. Intrigue in real life is foreign to the Northern nations, both from the virtues and the defects of their character; they have too much openness of disposition, and too little acuteness and nicety of understanding.
The boy caught the Clown up in his hands, and began punching the toy in the chest to make the cymbals bang together. "Dear me, what a dreadful chap this boy is!" thought the Calico Clown. "So rough!" As for the White Rocking Horse, he began to feel better as soon as the boy was out of the saddle.
Anyhow, she sent me back to the store, only she sent me here instead of to the store where the Calico Clown and the other toys lived, and the mistake was never found out. Mr. Mugg and his daughters took me in, and I have been here ever since." "Do you ever see your friend, the Monkey on a Stick, or hear from the Sawdust Doll?" asked the Donkey. "Once in a while," was the answer.
"Senor," replied Sancho, "to retire is not to flee, and there is no wisdom in waiting when danger outweighs hope, and it is the part of wise men to preserve themselves to-day for to-morrow, and not risk all in one day; and let me tell you, though I am a clown and a boor, I have got some notion of what they call safe conduct; so repent not of having taken my advice, but mount Rocinante if you can, and if not I will help you; and follow me, for my mother-wit tells me we have more need of legs than hands just now."
She used to tell me how misunderstood she was, neglected, mated to a clown and all that." I pitied her. I felt that her husband ought to be shot. Looking back now I see that he was just the ordinary, easy-going, indifferent individual that most husbands become; but then I deemed him a tyrant and a brute. Well, I ran away with her." He paused and passed his hand wearily across his brow.
For it is absurd to honour a Clown with words courtly and of magnificence. 43d. Do not express Joy before one sick or in pain for that contrary Passion will aggravate his Misery Hawkins ii. 23. Do not thou expresse joy before one sick, or in paine; for that contrary passion, will aggravate his misery.
