Llewellyn Stanhope's Company was not the only combination that offered itself to the entertainment of Calcutta that December Saturday night. The ever-popular Jimmy Finnigan and his "Surprise Party" he sailed up the Bay as regularly as the Viceroy descended from the hills had been advertising "Side-splitting begins at 9.30. Prices as usual" with reference to this particular evening for a fortnight.
With flaky covers?" "Um-huh." "Why, course I would! And ha'p'ny tea? Lead me to it, O brave knight! And to a vaudeville." He found that this devoted attendant of theaters had never seen the beautiful Italians who pounce upon protesting zylophones with small clubs, or the side-splitting juggler's assistant who breaks up piles and piles of plates.

The strange and side-splitting effects of centrifugal force had transformed about a hundred indifferent young men and women into ardent and convinced supporters of feminism in its most advanced form. In the course of her slow revolution Audrey saw the rosetted steward arguing with the second loud man, no doubt to persuade him to stop the wheel.
The House of Folly breaks out, over its entire facade, into a chicken-pox of red and green, blue and purple, yellow, violet, and gold electric bulbs. The Ocean Waves concession begins its side-splitting undulations. The Baby Incubator slides open its ticket-windows. Five carousals begin to whang.
