But he did not get much for it on that day; only lofty tolerance, which seemed to amuse him greatly. Edward played with Felipa very much as if she was a rubber toy or a trapeze performer.
Ben went to the far end of the spring board. He gave a run down it, and then jumped off the springy end. Up in the air he went, and, as he shot forward, over the heads of the boys standing in a line, Ben turned first one, then two, and then three somersaults in the air. "Oh, look at that!" "Say, that's great!" "How did he do it?" "He must be a regular circus performer!" "Do it again! Do it again!"
It sounded precisely like two birds, one of whom was mocking or ridiculing the other in a low tone. Sometimes the undertone, as said above, was a squawk; again it resembled a squeal; now it was petulant, as though the performer scoffed at his own singing; and then it was a perfect copy of the song itself, given in an indescribably sneering manner.

A ginger ale jag is terrible.
In fact, this wandering tumour puzzled all the workmen about town, who found it impossible to accommodate so changeable a customer." Florian Marchand, "the water-spouter," was another performer who enjoyed considerable fame. Such was the dexterity of this conjurer that, "drinking only fountaine-water, he rendered out of his mouth in severall glasses all sorts of wine and sweete waters."
