In a succeeding paragraph the reader finds that a cherished nineteenth-century custom the representing of a vast army by the employment of half-a-dozen ill-fed, unpainted supers has at least the sanction of age: "Another mechanical method of making great men, and adding dignity to kings and queens, is to accompany them with halberts and battle-axes.
Wonderful stories went the rounds of the Circus about Malaga's good-luck. Her vanity increased the six thousand francs which Paz had spent on her furniture to sixty thousand. According to the clowns and the supers, Malaga was squandering money; and she now appeared at the Circus wearing burnous and shawls and elegant scarfs.
In the matter of dramatic surprises, my friend Bernadine, you are certainly in a class by yourself." Bernadine smiled. "You will understand, of course," he said, "that this little entertainment is entirely for your amusement well stage-managed, perhaps, but my supers are not to be taken seriously. Since you are here, Baron, might I ask you to precede me a few steps to the tasting office?
There was a bite in his voice. "Now, wait," Basom said apprehensively, "I didn't say anything like that. I didn't mean it that way." Blejjo pointed his fishing pole at the youth.

Percy gazed hopefully at his three supers, but it seemed that their contributions to the conversation were at an end, and for a space silence reigned, broken only by the gentle lullaby of the tooth-sucker.

The dresses were rich and varied. Scene-shifters, band, supers, and friends remained on the stage during the performance, dodging about among the actors.
Youth, for whom the town had grown too small and the doublet too tight, ventured out, intoxicated by the play of its own muscles.
