This is always done in a circus in the case of "stars," and Joe was certainly a star of the first magnitude. "Ladies and gentlemen!" cried Jim Tracy, with the accented drawl that carried his voice to the very ends of the big tent. "Calling your attention to one of the most marvelous high trapeze acts ever performed in any circus!"
He was dressed in the extreme of fashion of a dozen years before; his pearl gray trousers strapped tightly over his varnished boots, his voluminous satin cravat and high collar embraced his rouged cheeks and dyed whiskers, his closely-buttoned frock coat clinging to a waist that seemed accented by stays.
She also said that I might call upon her any afternoon, and that she was always pleased to see her 'friends." He accented the last word bitterly. "What did you expect her to say to me?" he inquired. "Nothing; at least . . . you know what they are saying in the clubs?" "What are they saying?" "That she is engaged to Mortlake."
A voice from the next table said coldly in accented Anglo-American, "You don't seem to appreciate our entertainment, gentlemen of the west." Joe looked at the source of the words. There were three officers, only one in the distinctive pinch-waisted uniform of the Hungarians, a captain.

And he was a gentleman by instinct, and acquired cultivation readily.
This momentary restraint was accented by the entrance of a lady and gentleman, rather distingue in dress and bearing, who had stopped before them, and were eying equally the artist, his work, and his companion with somewhat insolent curiosity. Helen felt herself stiffening; her companion drew himself up with soldierly rigidity.
"Nay, not hateful!" he said pleadingly. "But I did not want to stay. Aunt Lois looked stern and spoke crossly. And I am not a Quaker any more. I told her so. And I am a a rebel! I will have no English King." Her tone accented it all with capitals. "Thou art a rebel, sure enough." Yet he smiled tenderly on her. Whatever she was was sweet.
