"Well, Nat, that's a piece of dumb-show that says very plainly we are to shoot some birds for breakfast before we do anything else, and it would perhaps be wise, so come along; there are some of our old friends in that great palm-tree."
The only one of the party likely to be left behind was Grampus; whom his master, after much entreaty in dumb-show, was permitted to carry over by tying him firmly to his shoulders. Marmoset crossed over walking, like a tight-rope dancer, being quite au fait at such work. Soon after they came to another curious bridge over a ravine.
Claud interjected; and there was eager dumb-show all round the table, everyone again excepting Guthrie leaning forward to cast wreathed smiles at the seated couple. "I have given my consent," said Mr Pennycuick "I have given my consent. My daughter shall be happy in her own way and I hope he'll see to it that she gets all she bargains for.
Re-enter the same performers on all-fours, grunting like pigs. Then a company of ladies and gentlemen in dumb-show, doing a country visit, ending with asking for a frank, curtseying, bowing, and exit. "Neighbour." Then enter all the gentlemen, some with their fingers on their eyes, some delighted with themselves. Then re-enter Lord Lansdowne, the two Mr. Smiths, Mr. Hallam, and Mr.

One of them only, the old man called back, and with him, as he sat upon the "four-leg," he had a long and confidential talk. This evidently was the medical adviser, and, judging by the dumb-show of the interview which ensued, the Sikh, as evidently, was the victim of a cold in his fine old nose, which he had doubtless caught from sleeping in the open air.
But they held the Dumb Negro himself in almost superstitious regard as one who, though a deaf-mute, knew everything that was going on, and could make you understand anything he wished. He was, in fact, a master of most eloquent pantomime; he had gestures that could not be mistaken, and he had a graphic dumb-show for persons and occupations and experiences that was delightfully vivid.
