Many of your tricks can be done by our conjurers at home, but there are some that have never been solved." "I have been offered, more than once, large sums by English sahibs to tell them how some of the feats were done, but I could not; we are bound by terrible oaths, and; in no case has a juggler proved false to them.
"Piff is paff, and paff is puff!" laughed Ulrich. "When I snap the twigs, you always hear them say 'knack, knack, and 'knack' is a word too. The juggler Caspar's magpie, can say twenty." "But father said so," replied Ruth, arranging the dry sticks. "He toils hard, but not for gold and gain, to find the right words.
He then, after making more signs on the boy's head, blew on his forehead, and so woke him up with a start. After that, they all went on their way towards the town, and the girls saw them no more. Most things they say have a moral, if you only look for it. What was the moral of this? The moral was, as I thought: First, that the chief juggler had heard Mr.
"No," said the juggler; "no one can do that." "You are only an apprentice; you don't know your trade. Give me the seed. I will show you." He took the seed and said, "What shall I raise from it?" "It is a cherry seed; of course you will raise a cherry." "Oh no; that is a trifle; any novice can do that. Shall I raise an orange-tree from it?" "Oh yes!" and the juggler laughed.
In silence we watched him run across the lawn, twirling the plate deftly above his head in juggler fashion. The next day when we sat down to dinner our new young neighbor again appeared on our threshold. "Halloa!" he called chummily. "We are going to have soup again and we want a soup plate for father."
But after dinner was all our sport, when there come in a juggler, who, indeed, did shew us so good tricks as I have never seen in my life, I think, of legerdemaine, and such as my wife hath since seriously said that she would not believe but that he did them by the help of the devil.
On one occasion, after the Indian battles, a famous juggler visited the camp and performed his feats before the General, his family, and staff. Among other performances, this man cut in two with a stroke of his sword a lime or lemon placed in the hand of his assistant. Napier thought there was some collusion between the juggler and his retainer.
The juggler, a keen little Frenchman, plied his arts nimbly, and what with his ventriloquial doll, his empty bag full of eggs, his stones that were candies, and his candies that were stones, and his stuffed birds that sang, astonished and delighted his unsophisticated patrons, whose applauding murmurs were diversified by familiarly silly shrieks the true Siamese Did-you-ever! from behind the kincob curtains.
This seemed quite likely to Larry, too, so they slipped hurriedly out under the elbows of the crowd just as the Juggler was in the very act of finding a white rabbit in the crown of his hat. They never stopped running until they found themselves in the middle of a group of people in a distant part of the Fairgrounds.
I no longer hated the harlequin, or envied the clown, or felt anything but mortification at my own folly. "Miss Angelina Lascelles, indeed!" I said to myself, as I sauntered moodily home. "Pshaw! I shouldn't wonder if her name was Snooks!" A mere anatomy, a mountebank, A threadbare juggler. Comedy of Errors. Nay, then, he is a conjuror. Henry VI.
