And ten-twent-thirt trouping, and county-fair spieling, and selling Dr. Thunder Rapids' Choctaw Herbal Sensitizer. How far y' going?" "Seattle." "Honest? Say, kid, this is Muh boy, we shall have the rare privilege of pooling adventures as far as Blewett Pass, four to six days' run from here a day this side of Seattle. I'm going to my gold-mine there.
Her voice, like her person, was spindling, but Hercules heard when she called: "Come home, now, and cut up some kindling, or I will be snatching you bald!" No more of his triumphs he lilted, like Spartacus spieling in Rome; the steel hearted warrior wilted, and followed his conquerer home. If Ananias lived today and ran the corner store, he couldn't keep the wolf away from his old creaking door.
The newspaper boys were good to us and gave us a lot of space, and we were playing on velvet and had Pete besides. It was such a cinch that Merritt, who looked after the snake while I did the spieling and sold tickets on the front, commenced to get worried for fear we should lose him.
The Doctor was too gloomy and impatient over little things to be popular. Jack Drew talked too straight in the paper, and in spite of his proprietors about pub spieling and such things and was too sarcastic in his progress committee, town council, and toady reception reports. He was clever, and drink had brought him down to Redclay. "The bank manager was a heavy snob named Browne.

With muttered imprecation the peddlers pushed on their carts to make place for a noisy, tuneless hurdy-gurdy. On the pavement at its side a dozen children congregated none over ten to dance the turkey trot and the "nigger," according to the most approved Bowery artistry of "spieling." "Lord, no wonder they fall into the gutter when they grow up," thought Bobbie.
But for all the nine-jointed impressiveness of its title this park was a live, brisk little park full of sideshow tents sheltering mildly amusing, faked-up attractions, with painted banners flapping in the air and barkers spieling before the entrances and all the ballyhoos going at full blast altogether a creditable imitation of a street fair as witnessed in any American town that has a good live Elks' Lodge in it.
"Say, professor," Oppenheimer tapped to me one day. "When you was spieling that Adam Strang yarn, I remember you mentioned playing chess with that royal souse of an emperor's brother. Now is that chess like our kind of chess?" Of course I had to reply that I did not know, that I did not remember the details after I returned to my normal state.
