Sir Jasper took a stop backward, and regarded this singular apparition in wonder. The old man folded his arms across his bosom and made him a profound Oriental salaam. "The Lord of Kingsland gazes in amaze at the uninvited stranger. And yet I think destiny has sent me hither." "Who are you?" the baronet demanded. "What jugglery is this?
There were only two on the sand . . . the rest were around . . . under the tent . . . my arm was out . . . just like this. . . ." The young man put a hand to his forehead. "Good Lord!" I heard him say, "the amphitheatre!" "Come, sir," I interrupted, "I think we have had enough of this jugglery." But the girl's voice went on steadily as if repeating a lesson: "And then you came "
He considered wealth a misfortune and knowledge power. The Chinese reverence his memory, and regard him not as a god but as the wisest man of all ages. Along with Confucianism, Taoism exists in China. The sublime teaching of the founder has, however, been corrupted and degraded to jugglery and superstition.
That awful meeting again with my real daughter, in which I perforce must believe, is of itself enough to fever the very coldest feelings into madness; and need one marvel then at your talking of having encountered another impossibility, at your story about finding the dead Pietro come to life among the mountains, and not knowing him again, and about those almost farcical tricks of jugglery that were played you, all which you have related to us with the very same assurance?
Mounted on their stilts, they think they are on their feet, and perform their jugglery with a sort of innocence; their humbuggery is in their blood; they are born comedians, braggarts; extravagant in form as a Chinese vase; perhaps they even laugh at themselves. Their personality is generous; like Murat's kingly garments, it attracts danger.
This said, we may now go on again beginning, of course, with the bottle of sweet-smelling ink which I found on the gravel walk at night. Franklin this article of jugglery, and told him what I have already told you.
I should imagine him to have been out of scale on the music-hall stage. But in the ring he was perfect. The mastery of his craft, the cleanness of his jugglery, amazed me.
You would say the president of a republic like this disgraces himself with jugglery. Yet we are told God sent Moses and Aaron before Pharaoh, and when they got there Moses threw down a stick which turned into a snake. That God is a juggler he is the infinite prestidigitator. Is that possible? Was that really a snake, or was it the appearance of a snake?
In their different degrees, they all juggled; but 'twas not because Jugglery pleas'd 'em; 'twas because Men cannot be governed without it. I would be happy to try the Experiment. If Men were told the Truth, might they not believe it? If the Opportunity of Virtue and Wisdom is never to be offer'd 'em, how can we be sure that they would not be willing to take it?
Circles and spiritual jugglery I regard as the lying signs and wonders, with all deceivableness of unrighteousness; but there is a real scriptural spiritualism which has fallen into disuse, and must be revived, and there are, doubtless, people who, from some constitutional formation, can more readily receive the impressions of the surrounding spiritual world.
