Benares also showed Andy how to make effective standing somersaults by "the tuck trick," This was to grasp both legs tightly half-way between the knees and ankles, pressing them close together. At the same time the acrobat was to put the muscles of the shoulders and back in full play.
Galors swore. "Let God judge whether that damned acrobat shall pay for his writhing! But the other shall be my first business. So she is here you have seen her? What do you think of her?" "I have told you." The man's appetite grew as it fed upon Maulfry's praise of his taste. "Ah ah! Dame, I'm a man of taste eh?" Maulfry said nothing. Galors changed the note.
The crisis came at length: a wagon had stopped the way; my horse in turning it, stepped upon a stake, and slipping rolled heavily upon his side, tossing me like an acrobat, over his head, but without further injury than a terrible nervous shock and a rent in my pantaloons.
Probably Hugh had remembered this circumstance when picking the acrobat out as one of his party, instead of choosing Arthur Cameron. He sent the Stallings boy on ahead, and gave him to understand that he was expected to assist the others whenever he could.
If a body can't do without father an' mother, I'll make up a couple to please you, same as I made up a aunt for Glasson. Maggs's Circus is where I belong to, an' there 'twas Tilda, or 'The Child Acrobat' when they billed me." "You don't look much like an acrobat," commented Mr. Hucks. "Don't I? Well, you needn't to take that on trust, anyway."
He or she is an athlete, a musician, an acrobat, a Lothario, a grim fighter, a sport of the first water. All day long the cat loafs about the house, takes things easy, sleeps by the fire, and allows himself to be pestered by the attentions of our womenfolk and annoyed by our children.
There are miles of net up there, trap and flight nets close by the side of the line. These nets are wide and strong; they run many furlongs without supports, so that an acrobat could easily turn a somersault on to one of these at a given spot without the slightest risk. He could study out the precise spot carefully beforehand there are lightships on the sands to act as guides.
Lord Clarendon's fall. The Duke of Ormond offends the royal favourite. She covers him with abuse. Plots against the Duke of York. Schemes for a royal divorce. Moll Davis and Nell Gwynn. The king and the comedian. Lady Castlemaine abandons herself to great disorders. Young Jack Spencer. The countess intrigues with an acrobat. Talk of the town. The mistress created a duchess.
I don't see the artist as a performing acrobat nor as an anarchist in ethics, either. I think that art is one of the big aspects of life and that through it one gets hold of a big part of reality." Mrs. Upton, mildly intent on her corner, looked acquiescent. "I think," Jack went on, "that, like everything else in life worth having, it's a harmony only attained by discipline and by sacrifice.
I must allegore and meditate on 'em jest as they come, and truly a-thinkin' on these picters, I feel as Hosey Bigelow ust to say: "I can't tell what's comin' gall or honey." But some of them picters and statutes made perfect dents in my memory, and can't be smoothed out agin nohow. There wuz one little figger jest at the entrance where we went in, "The Young Acrobat," that impressed me dretfully.
