Or a whole theatrical company would be brought down to give an entertainment in the theatre; or a minstrel show, or a troupe of acrobats, or a menagerie of trained animals. Or perhaps there would be a great pianist, or a palmist, or a trance medium. Anyone at all would be welcome who could bring a new thrill it mattered nothing at all, though the price might be several hundred dollars a minute.
I had read innumerable books about it. I had taken casts of all my friends' hands.
