The side shows were not doing much business. Some were getting ready for the removal. There were not many people around the main entrance. Andy, quite breathless, rushed up to the ticket taker there. "I want to go in for just a minute," he said "I must see the manager." "Cut for it no gags go here," retorted the man rudely. "It's pretty important. Here," began Andy. Then he paused in dismay.
Tobin would be James Webbe Tobin, of Nevis, who died in 1814, the brother of the playwright John Tobin, author of "The Honeymoon." A young ass. The general opinion at Christ's Hospital is that Lamb invented this incident; and yet it has the air of being true. L.'s admired Perry. John Perry, steward from 1761 to 1785, mentioned in Lamb's earlier essay. Gags. Still current slang.
The cords and gags were beginning to hurt, and my anxiety was very great. The minutes dragged slowly by, and I thought that hour would never end; but it did end at last, and all of a sudden I heard the long calliope whistle of the engine on the Flyer as she came down the grade. This was followed by two short blasts, that showed she had seen my red-light and was going to stop. "My God!" I thought.
When they appeared at the Stage Door they were met by Props, who told them to get to a certain Place out of there. Standing in the Alley, they could hear Wails of Anguish, and they knew that their Child was having the Vital Organs removed. The celebrated Author of the Graveyard Rag had been summoned in haste. He was in charge of the Clinic taking out the Grammar and putting in Gags.
A cord traverses across my cheeks. There is something between my teeth. A piece of wood it appears to be? It gags me, and half stifles my breathing! Am I in human hands? or are they fiends who are thus clutching me? Anon my senses grow stronger, but wild fancies still mock me: I am yet uncertain if it be life! What are those dark objects passing before my eyes?
"Let me help you, Garry," suggested Blood, in an undertone. The despatcher turned shaking from his chair and his superintendent slipped behind him into it. His crippled right hand glided instantly over the key, and the Rucker call, even, sharp, and compelling, followed by the quick, clear nineteen the call that gags and binds the whole division the despatchers' call clicked from his fingers.
They bring with them, not only their songs, which, when offensive in their wording, are sometimes made doubly dangerous by their tunefulness; not only their dances, which are usually vulgar, when they are not inane, but their style and manner and 'gags, which are generally the most deplorable of all.
In a small room near the "office" are to be seen any number of iron collars, hobbles, handcuffs, thumbscrews, cowhides, whips, chains, gags, and yokes. A back yard inclosed by a high wall looks something like the playground attached to one of our large New England schools, and in which are rows of benches and swings.
Hal considered this point a moment; then nodded his head in token of assent. Chester did likewise. "All right," said the little man and beckoned the others to remove the gags. Their mouths free of the evil-tasting cloths, Hal and Chester breathed easier. "Now," said Chester, "perhaps you will explain what this is all about." The little man shook his head.
Well Al I suppose Alcock and Brady and them has been playing another 1 of their gags on me and I hope they enjoyed it and as far as I am conserned they's no harm done. Cologne Al is way back of the German lines and when Sargent Crane said they was some of the boys starting in that direction he meant this here patrol. So I'm in on it Al and they didn't go last night but tonight's the big night.
