Taking Hilda and Lindsay and Stephen Arnold as a basis, Alicia had built up her party, with the contortionist, as it were, at the apex, on his head.
All the cat has been beaten out of their blood, and they've become rats. You can't tell me. I know." "Trained rats!" Manuel Fonseca, the contortionist, exploded in the bar- room of the Hotel Annandale, after refusing to drink with Duckworth. "Doped rats, believe me. Why don't they jump off when they crawl along the tight rope with a cat in front and a cat behind?
He gave Ash a slow, wide-sweeping sidewheeler, that curved round over the plate. Ash always took a strike, so this did not matter. Then Vane used his deceptive change of pace, sending up a curve that just missed Ash's bat as he swung. "Oh! A-h-h! hit!" wailed the bleachers. Vane doubled up like a contortionist, and shot up a lightning-swift drop that fooled Ash completely. Again the crowd groaned.
But they always giggle at a man's first shot at business, anyway. Like his first pair of long trousers. It's done. But how many times will they do it? A thousand? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand? At maybe seven dollars a giggle? For less than that, I'd be a comedian. I'd be a contortionist. I'd be a pie-thrower. Henry, old rubbish, you do what they tell you to."
"You bet your life they do," said Casey. "And what I am wanted for?" "Certain. Wot's that got to do with it?" "Do they think I'm I'm guilty?"

Not one, but all of them, carry charms, amulets or lucky pieces, and they recognize more signs than the sailors themselves. "Some of these fine days I'm going to paste that guy on the nose," said the contortionist heatedly. "You'll get a bullet in your gizzard if you do," said the clown gloomily. "He carries a gun, and he'll use it, too.
"Perfectly, and what an idiot I was, though it was only yesterday!" "You expressed to me then a deep detestation of the sort of self-exposure to which the profession you were taking up would commit you. If you compared yourself to a contortionist at a country fair I'm only taking my cue from you."
At that time I was a contortionist and they called me the Snake-Man; then I became an equilibrist and adopted the name of Don Alonso. Alonso is my name. After four months of that Perez and I Perez was the greatest gymnast in the world went to America, and two or three years later we met Rosita, who must have been about twenty-five or thirty at that time."
To her confusion, he presupposed her intimate acquaintance with the personalities of the World of Variety. "That's where I came across little Evie Bostock," he said confidentially. "A clipper, wasn't she? Just before she ran off with that contortionist you know who I mean handsome chap what's his name? oh, of course you know him." My poor Barbara!
