"Well! when my friend Herb bestowed upon me that baby raccoon, I called the little innocent 'Zip, and kept him in-doors, letting him roam at will. But after he grew to manhood, I was obliged to banish him to our yard and chain him up; and there his piteous, sky-piercing calls, which seemed to come from the roof of a house near him, first showed me what a ventriloquist the animal can be."
"That's a good deal," said the country boy. "Was it yours?" "Yes." "I never had so much money in my life." "It has taken me almost six months to earn it. But I had more money with me, only he didn't know it." "How much?" "A hundred and fifty dollars." "Was it yours?" asked the boy, surprised. "No; it belonged to my employer." "Who is he?" "Professor Henderson, the ventriloquist."
It is something well worth listening to, common though it is, and may easily suggest a number of questions about the origin and meaning of bird music. The white-eyed vireo is a singer of astonishing spirit, and his sudden changes from one theme to another are sometimes almost startling. He is a skillful ventriloquist, also, and I remember one in particular who outwitted me completely.
You admit the agency of spirits?" "Certainly unless I say Miss Lambert wriggled herself out of her skin, which would not be nice of me, or that you are the greatest ventriloquist in the world. No, I prefer to compliment the spirits." Clarke's face darkened. The old man's face and voice were too jocose. "I see you do not value our wonderful experiences to-night."
The sound of his laughter was something like the creaking of a cart imitated by a ventriloquist. But Padre Francesco knit his bushy brows, for he thought the sailor was making game of him, who had been boatswain on a square-rigger. "I went to sea for thirty years," he said, "but I never heard of a vessel called the Papa. You have said a silly thing.
Being a skilled ventriloquist, he was the author of the dismal groans and the mysterious voice that had so alarmed the boys. Bart was not in the secret, and so he wondered, when he heard Frank chuckling to himself, after they had safely reached their room and were getting into bed.
But let me once be persuaded that all these heart-awakening utterances of human hearts of men of like faculties and passions with myself, mourning, rejoicing, suffering, triumphing are but as a Divina Commedia of a superhuman O bear with me, if I say Ventriloquist; that the royal harper, to whom I have so often submitted myself as a MANY-STRINGED INSTRUMENT for his fire-tipt fingers to traverse, while every several nerve of emotion, passion, thought, that thrids the flesh-and-blood of our common humanity, responded to the touch, that this SWEET PSALMIST OF ISRAEL was himself as mere an instrument as his harp, an AUTOMATON poet, mourner, and supplicant; all is gone, all sympathy, at least, and all example.
And somebody aboard of the Marlin B. was a ventriloquist. Your whole crew weren't ignorant of the accident that happened on her first trip. Somebody had it in for Sutro Brothers, and made much of little, same as usual." "Oh, they did?" muttered Horry. "Anyway," said Captain Latham, "that's neither here nor there.
As for the ballet, it was a music-hall turn, lasting fifteen minutes, which the public seemed to like rather better than the performing dogs and distinctly less than the ventriloquist. The public accepted it because it accepts whatever is provided.
He turned to me with a grin, which showed white strong teeth. "More than you could do, old pal!" "You must have practised that a great deal," said Doria. "Two hours a day solid year in and year out not that trick alone, of course. Here!" he burst into a laugh. "I'm blowed if you know who I am I'm the One and Only Ras Fendihook Illusionist, Ventriloquist, and General Variety Artist.
