In Bélgorod sits on a wall. Glory! In a strange land he looks about. Glory! Her ring and fortune will come out. Glory!" PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Yes, let them in; let them have a dance. And you girls can sing afterwards. The same and mummers; an OLD MAN with a balalaika or guitar, a TRAINER with a bear and goat, EGÓRUSHKA with molasses.
"Did you have much business with them, my son?" Ralph smiled in the firelight. "Why, no, sir. I told them who I was. I charged myself with the burden." "And you will not be in trouble with my Lord?" "My Lord has other matters to think of than a parcel of mummers." Then they separated; and Ralph rode down the drive with his servants behind him. Neither father nor son had said a word of any return.
Her graceful gait, elegant figure, and dignified manner in general won the mummers to the opinion that they had gained by the exchange, if the newcomer were perfect in his part. "It don't matter if you be not too young," said Saint George. Eustacia's voice had sounded somewhat more juvenile and fluty than Charley's. "I know every word of it, I tell you," said Eustacia decisively.
The swaying trees finished their dizzy dance, and the rocks that had seemed to be bowing to each other like so many mummers resumed their impassive attitudes. Their lawless frolic had ended! Drew had caught Ruth by the arm as she went down, and thus had broken the violence of her fall. But all were jarred and shaken. As the more agile of the quartet, the young man was first on his feet.
The lads who formed the company of players lived at different scattered points around, and by meeting in this spot the distances to be traversed by all the comers would be about equally proportioned. For mummers and mumming Eustacia had the greatest contempt. The mummers themselves were not afflicted with any such feeling for their art, though at the same time they were not enthusiastic.
“Bah!” replied the other. “I have plenty of time to think of that; I am not yet greasing my boots for the long journey.” The two saints went out and Roger followed them, curious to be present at such a rare game; but suddenly, near the Chapel of St. Antony, they disappeared. The wheelwright then went to see the mummers tumbling in the high street of Condé.
Every one made way for him, for he rushed on like a madman; as he reached the pontoon and took in at a glance what was going forward there, he sprang past the mummers with mighty leaps to the platform, pushing aside sundry groups of fighting champions; and before the principal actors were aware of his presence, he had snatched Paula from the old man's clutch, and called her by her name.
And one of them was hungry, And many and many a year Had he roamed, forever asking For goat's meat far and near." PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Arinushka, bring some refreshments for the mummers. ARÍNA brings them something to drink; they drink and bow. TRAINER. Now, then, amuse the honorable company. They go out; the OLD MAN plays the guitar; the other mummers dance; all watch them.
Several minstrels, mummers, and merry-makers, in various fantastic habits, swelled the throng, enlivening it with their strains or feats; and amongst other privileged characters admitted was a Tom o' Bedlam, a half-crazed licensed beggar, in a singular and picturesque garb, with a plate of tin engraved with his name attached to his left arm, and a great ox's horn, which he was continually blowing, suspended by a leathern baldric from his neck.
"I have brought you hither, Alizon," said Mistress Nutter, motioning her to a seat, "that we may converse without chance of interruption, for I have much to say. On first seeing you to-day, your appearance, so superior to the rest of the May-day mummers, struck me forcibly, and I resolved to question Elizabeth Device about you. Accordingly I bade her join me in the Abbey gardens.
