And the peasants, elbowing each other, said, "Oh! we must see this; it won't kill us for once." The frequenters of the theatres and circuses of the present day would consider this establishment of Gudel's very modest, with its single gallery, a little red serge, and its shabby velvet curtain. There was an orchestra, but what an orchestra!
"I guess you know more about a circus than you let us think. Don't you now?" "Oh, well, I've seen 'em," said Ben, slowly. "And the way you jumped on the horse why, you must have been watching pretty hard to see just how to do that," Bunker went on. "I've seen lots of circuses, but I can't jump up the way you can, Ben." "Then he can ride a horse in our circus," said Sue.
There are Circuses, Crescents, Terraces, Parades, and all such fine names as we have become familiar with at Leamington, and other watering-places.
All her thirty-six years she had held aside her dainty skirts from people who went to circuses, but how could she hold them aside now? There was not room. She was caught in the swirl and noise and glee. Suddenly a familiar voice struck her ear. Evangeline's voice!
They can be sold to circuses and park menageries. But, better than this, the elephants in India do much work. They pull great wagons, that many horses could not move, and they work in lumber yards, piling up the big, heavy logs of teakwood, from which those queer, Chinese carved tables and chairs are made, and which wood is also used in ships.
Automation, the second industrial revolution, has eliminated for all practical purposes the need for their labor. So we give them bread and circuses. And every year that goes by the circuses must be increasingly sadistic, death on an increasing scale, or they aren't satisfied.
'Merry-go-rounds' driven by steam, elaborate circuses, menageries, waxwork exhibitions, movable theatres, and modern 'shows' of every kind travel about, and settle for a few days, perhaps even for a few weeks, in various towns.
Lucille appeared puzzled and put this incoherence aside. "What a baby never to see ellyfunts! I've seen lots. Hundreds. Zoo. Circuses. Persessions. Camels, too." "Oh, I used to ride a camel every day. There was one in the compound with his oont-wallah, Abdul Ghaffr; and Khodadad Khan used to beat the oont-wallah on cold mornings to warm himself." "What's an oont-wallah?" "Don't you know?
You wouldn't want me to try an Earthquake on it, would you?" Marmaduke thought this was very kind and considerate of the Giant, to try to spare the people in the town where he went to buy candy and to see circuses and things. Then he had an idea. "Couldn't you shake up the ground a mile or two west of that see," he pointed his finger at the roof of the pit, "about there.
All details, from elephants to tent stakes, from kid-show banners to the great arena that shelters and seats ten thousand patrons, all must be torn down, transported, and set up between sunset and sunrise. I know of no other private enterprise that so truly represents the skill, aptitude, and energy of American genius. "But pshaw! All of you have been to circuses!
