"I -I'm not well enough yet -my head is dizzy," pleaded the young acrobat. "Up you go!" snarled the ringmaster, and cracked his whip in such a fashion that the end of the lash took the young acrobat in the calf of the leg, causing him to cry with pain. "What an outrage!" whispered Snap, clenching his fists. "That ringmaster ought to be cowhided."
"Yes, you did your part very well," whispered back the Monkey. "Do you think I shall get a chance to do any of my tricks?" "Oh, yes," answered the Doll. "I'm sure you're going to be the best part of the show." When the cookies were eaten, Herbert again took the part of ringmaster.

"I'm afraid that ringmaster will have it in for that boy," said Snap to his chums. "Poor boy!" murmured the doctor's son. "He didn't look as if he was used to this hard life. I wish we could do something for him." "Let us try to look into the dressing-room and see what is going on," suggested Snap.
The ringmaster got it started around the ring. "Do your best now, Wildwood," whispered Marco, who with the clown and the manager had followed into the main tent. Andy was on his mettle.

Sorber, ringmaster and lion tamer that's me, Miss. Sully Sorber, first clown that's my half brother, Miss. William Sorber is treasurer and ticket seller under bonds, Miss. He's my own brother.
I heard men spouting about taming the aliens when I first learned to talk as if they were wild animals. I read articles on how the Clovisem and those things from Sugfarth needed kindness. It's the same guff I heard about how to handle lions. But the men doing the talking weren't in the ring; and I noticed the ringmaster carried a whip and gun. He knew the beasts.

"How's the stuff coming on, Ted?" asked Joe, when the doctored mixture had been thrown away and new made. "All right, I guess. I'll try it."
