Then, advancing into the middle of the room with a bow, he produced from his pocket a big bill printed in blue and red, which announced that ZALADIN, the World's Greatest Conjurer, Contortionist, Ventriloquist and Human Kangaroo would be ready with an entirely new series of Tricks at the Empire Pavilion, Scarborough, on Monday next at eight o'clock precisely. TWO. The Paradise of Thieves
"I was rather glad to be rid of him, and I was glad that the next performers, who were a lady and a gentleman contortionist of Spanish- American extraction, behaved more impartially. They were really remarkable artists in their way, and though it's a painful way, I couldn't help admiring their gift in bowknots and other difficult poses.
The tears sprang to his eyes tears of rage and helplessness. With a sob he turned away and leaned his head against the pole. "Poor boy," she whispered. "Don't you call me a brute, Casey," roared Braddock, turning upon the contortionist in a fury. Casey had not uttered a word, but Braddock instinctively anticipated the charge. The contortionist was afraid of him.
Eden stared at her friend with the astonishment of a gomeril at a contortionist. The smile left her lips. "Did you see him too?" she asked. "Why, no, you little simpleton, I didn't see him; but I haven't got a husband of my own for nothing." "Do you mean that your husband deceives you?" "Deceives me? no, not a bit of it. He only thinks he does. Is that what has been the matter with you?" "Laura "
She had been absent for nearly a month, therefore she might as well have been dead as far as the Spanish public was concerned. The Manager had known this and had been careful to provide his patrons with a new toy, who had come, even as Arithelli herself, from Paris. This was a female contortionist with a serpent's grace, and a serpent's flat head, and wicked slit eyes.
"That's the excursion I missed last year when I sprained my ankle. I never was so disappointed in my life. I'm going right now to ask Miss Chilton to take me, too. I'm wild to get my fingers on that violin." Swinging lightly down from the limb to the ground, she twisted around like a contortionist in a vain attempt to see her back. "There!" she exclaimed, feeling her belt with a sigh of relief.
Then we all sat gracefully about, while Sir Lionel and the chauffeur worked Young Nick under the car, looking sometimes like a contortionist tying himself into lover's knots, sometimes like a miniature Michelangelo lying on his back to paint a fresco.
The sheep moved higher whenever I came too near them. Sometimes I dropped to all fours and gave an imitation of a playful pup; stopping to sniff loudly at a chipmunk's hole or to dig furiously with both hands. The sheep crowded forward appreciatively. Evidently they had a weakness for vaudeville. No acrobat, no contortionist, ever had a more flatteringly attentive audience.
She goes to bed in a most deliberate fashion, she utters shrieks which rend the heart of the hearer. She goes gracefully through a series of gesticulations so cleverly executed that you might think her a professional contortionist. Now what man is there so inconsiderate as to dare to speak to a suffering woman about desires which, in him, prove the most perfect health?
Braddock's failure to extract money from him made that worthy so disagreeable that his wife and daughter were in mortal terror of his threats to turn the boy adrift if he caught them "coddling" him. David's close associates were the Noakeses, the contortionist and two or three rather engaging acrobats.
