How do you know?" "One way in and another way out!" he said, his voice sinking to a sort of meditative croon "One road to the West, and the other to the East! and round about to the meeting-place! Ou ay! Ye'll mak it clear sailin'!" "Without wind, eh?" interposed Captain Derrick "Like your friend the 'shentleman'? How does he manage that business?"
Then came from the yard a sound of tuning instruments, squeak of fiddle, croon of 'cello, a falling triangle ringing and tinkling to the floor; and he turned pale.

A medley of crashing music, pungently odd and exhilarating smells, the roaring croon of the steam calliope, the sweet lingering savour of clown-white grease paint, elephants, sleek barking seals, trained pigs, superb white horses, frolicking dogs, exquisite ladies in tights and spangles, the pallid Venuses of the "living statuary," a whole jumble of incongruous and fantastic glimpses, moving in perfect order through its arranged cycles this is the blurred and ecstatic recollection of an amateur clown at the circus.
