Naturally therefore, notwithstanding the exuberant expressions of gratitude on the part of Elizabeth, the republican Government were anxious to know what all this parleying meant. They could not believe that people would make a raree-show of the English envoy except for sufficient reason. Caron accordingly presented himself before the queen, with respectful inquiries on the subject.
'There came into our village, when I was six years old, a man who carried about a raree-show, which all the children of the parish were fond of seeing; but I had taken it into my head, that it was beneath my wisdom to see raree-shows; and therefore would not be persuaded to join my companions to see this sight; and although I had as great an inclination as any of them to see it, yet I avoided it, in order to boast of my own great sense, in that I was above such trifles.
Yes! she was going to the President's levee that evening, Rosa said. A sort of raree-show was it not? with the Chief Magistrate for head mountebank.
Enough has been said of this raree-show to weary the reader's patience, but not more than enough to show the docile and enervated nature of this portion of a people who had lost everything for which men cherish their fatherland, but who could still find relief after thirty years of horrible civil war in painted pageantry, Latin versification, and the classical dictionary.
Well, my father will soon rout them out of there." "If yours don't, mine will," replied Ralph. "But they don't seem disposed to interfere. Are they stopping to see us fight?" "If they are," cried Mark hotly, "they'll have to wait a long time. I'm not going to make a raree-show of myself to please them." "Nor I neither," cried Ralph. "But," he added hastily, "you know I'm not afraid?"
Because I am a writer, why should I affect to be different from other men?" "I see that you are not above the weakness of your countryman Congreve," said Cesarini, "who deemed it finer to be a gentleman than an author." "I always thought that anecdote misconstrued. Congreve had a proper and manly pride, to my judgment, when he expressed a dislike to be visited merely as a raree-show."

And at last she felt real grief at thus becoming "the raree-show," as she ended by calling herself with a sad, suffering smile. She defended herself as far as she could, refusing to see anyone. Her companions defended her also, and sometimes very sternly, showing her only to such visitors as were authorised by the Bishop.
Do you thus make a raree-show of the palace of your forefathers, and require every man who enters it for the purpose of enlightening his benighted understanding to pay your imperial lackeys the sum of three bits?
