There was a monotonous roll of the savage tom-tom and a noise of shouting and laughter. Yes, we were safe, and the American had done it. The Coliseum was open, MacGregor was ring-master, and U. S. and Bob Lee were at work. This show, with other influences, had conquered Pango Wango.
"Billy, I would not have given much for your skin after the ring-master got through with you if it had not been for this fight; but now I think he will forgive you for the butt you gave him this morning, since you whipped Mr. Pride's dog for he hates Mr. Pride because he forbade him calling on his daughter." What Billy Did on Thursday
Sometimes when I grew confused, and misunderstood the signals and did things all wrong, the ring-master would swing his whip until it cracked like a pistol, and shout out, in a terrible voice, "Oh, you stupid little beast! What's the matter with you?"
She was the only woman he had never been able to bully into a state of collapse. He turned on the ring-master, who was grinning to himself. "Allez-vous en! I'll see to this." Señor Valdez looked uncomfortable.
One day, because the ring-master called him a frog-eater, or something like that and maybe a little worse, he shoved him against the soft pine background he used in his knife-throwing act, so quick the ring-master didn't have time to think, and there, before the audience, De Ville kept the air on fire with his knives, sinking them into the wood all around the ring-master so close that they passed through his clothes and most of them bit into his skin.
"I don't know about that," he said. "Of course, we'll take Benny back, but he may have to get a new act. We don't want to give you up you and your seal. The circus needs you." "To tell you the truth," said Joe, "I am thinking of giving it up." "Giving it up!" cried the ring-master. "Yes. I don't want what happened to Benny to happen to me.
But Lizzie seemed content with the fish, and the number of them she could eat and the ease with which she bit them into two pieces when they were too large to take at one mouthful showed her appetite as well as the strength of her jaws and the keenness of her teeth. "Going to put on the new act this afternoon, Joe?" asked the ring-master at the conclusion of the practice.
They had their preferences, of course, as I have hinted; and one of the most popular acts was that where a horse has been trained to misbehave, so that nobody can mount him; and after the actors have tried him, the ring-master turns to the audience, and asks if some gentleman among them wants to try it.
The ring-master was calling off the half minutes to the crowd, in which many were holding watches. A few had tried to imitate Joe's feat, but had given it up as a hopeless task. "The boy fish has now been under water, without breathing, four minutes, ladies and gentlemen!" cried the ring-master. "He has beaten his own record!" It was indeed true. But still Joe did not come up.
And Julian had with him a ring-master in the person of the ignorant Rip. Whenever his eyes fell on Rip, curled uneasily in the bottom of the swinging boat, he went at a tangent back to Harley Street, and the strange finale of his evening with the doctor. It had been a curious tableau divided by a door.
