Franko looked naturally astonished at this amount of self-sacrifice. 'The Countess? he shrewdly suggested. 'I'd rather be my Polly's prince, Than yon great lady's errand-boy! Raikes burst into song. He stretched out his hand, as if to discard all the great ladies who were passing.
She turned her head. 'I 'll go down to that girl to-night, said Raikes, with compressed passion. And then he hurried Franko along to the bridge, where, behold, the Countess alighted with the gentleman, and walked beside him into the gardens. 'Follow her, said Raikes, in agitation. 'Do you see her? by yon long- tailed raven's side? Follow her, Franko!
The famous and fab'lous Franko o' Florence, the fire-eatin', flame-swallerin', fat feller as weighs thirty-two stone if a hounce seein's believin' and all for a tanner a tanner! Sixpence an' no more! Come and see Franko the fattest feller o' Florence as will eat fire, devour glass and swaller swords, and all for sixpence for sixpence!
See Franko as will dance ye a hornpipe, breakdown or double-shuffle wi' helegance and hease, bein' nippy, neat and nimble though weighin' thirty-two stone, seein's believin' and all for a tanner a tanner!
She made remarks! 'Thy sufferings are severe but such is woman! said Franko. 'Gad, it's a good idea, though. He took out a note-book and pencilled down a point or two. Raikes watched the process sardonically. 'My tragedy is, then, thy farce! he exclaimed. 'Well, be it so! I believe I shall come to song-writing again myself shortly-beneath the shield of Catnach I'll a nation's ballads frame.
Walk up, ladies and gents, an' don't be shy; walk up an' shake 'ands wi' Franko the fab'lous fat feller as can sing ye, dance ye, tell fortun's, forecast the future, cast 'orrer-scopes, strike na-tivities or stand on 'is 'ead and all for sixpence for sixpence!"
