He told Abbott, "The lions are the only ones that have plenty of room. I wish there was a cage for me. But it's worth being jammed to see La Gonizetti she's pretty as they're made and she's pretty all over, and she don't care who knows it. Now the first half is about to begin, but it's just bears and clowns; don't get fooled, though, La Gonizetti will come later, O. K."
But oh, I am so glad, so glad and God answered my prayer and saved you, Fran my daughter!" It was half-past nine when Abbott met Fran, according to appointment, before the Snake Den. From her hands she had removed the color of Italy, and from her body, the glittering raiment of La Gonizetti. Fran came up to the young man from out the crowded street, all quivering excitement.
"Mother had gone to Chicago, hoping for a position in some respectable office, but they didn't want a typewriter who wasn't a stenographer. It was winter and mother had me I was so little and bad!...In a cheap lodging-house, mother got to know La Gonizetti, and she persuaded mother to wait with her for the season to open up, then go with Bounder Brothers; they were wintering in Chicago.
La Gonizetti gets astride of Samson the one that's mad and grabs his mane, and pretends to ride like a cow- boy. Calls herself a Rough-Rider. Makes Samson get on top of that table, then she gets on top of him." "But this isn't La Gonizetti," Abbott protested, shuddering again. "Now you've said something. That's right.
La Gonizetti doesn't care who sees her. Why, this is nothing but a mere I tell you now, if she ain't on to her job, I mean to have my money back." Simon glowered. Abbott stared in great perplexity. "Then who is she?" he exclaimed. "Simon doesn't she remind you of of some one we know?" "Naw.
See those enormous lions riding in baby carriages while La Gonizetti makes other lions dance the fandango to her violin. See those " "Here, Abbott, follow!" called the breathless Simon Jefferson. "Of course we'll see what's there no use listening to him, like an introduction in a novel of Scott's, telling it all first.
When the mayor was trying to decide what carnival company they'd have for the street fair, I told him about this show, and that's why it's here. Poor La Gonizetti needs the money dreadfully for they spend it as fast as it's paid in. The little darling will have to go to a hospital, and there's nothing laid by. The boys all threw in, but they didn't have much, themselves. Nobody has.
It was such a kind of life as mother had never dreamed of, but it was more convenient than starving, and she thought it would give her a chance to find father that traveling, all over the country. La Gonizetti was a lion-tamer, and that's what mother learned, and those two were the only ones who could go inside Samson's cage.
And La Gonizetti was a friend of yours, and you took her place, so the mother could stay with the injured daughter." "You're a wonder, yourself!" Fran declared, dropping her hands to stare at him. "Yes, that's it. All these show-people are friends of mine.
The trimmings which ran in all directions, were rich in pendents of gold and rubies. Above all, there was the alluring mystery of a crimson mask which effectually hid the woman's face. Simon whispered into Abbott's always unready ear, "That isn't La Gonizetti. Wonder what this means? La Gonizetti is much more of a woman than this one, and she doesn't wear a mask, or much of anything else.
