Then these two began to salaam one another, and mouth out fool phrases, and cavort and prance and caracole, until I thought them mad. When they departed there was a dreadful scene. Each refused to go through the door before the other. There was a frightful deadlock.
Dick made his salaam, and then took up a position beside the sally port, with an important face, like a showman exhibiting wild beastesses, a regular "stir him up with a long pole" sort of look.
