The
magician
tugged
one
corner
of
the
sheet
,
snatched
it
away
;
the
audience
hardly
noticed
that
the
sheet
disappeared
without
his
bothering
to
gather
it
in
;
they
were
looking
at
Madame
Merlin
,
still
floating
,
still
sleeping
,
six
feet
above
the
platform
.
The
platform
stood
in
the
middle
rear
of
the
tent
and
the
audience
surrounded
it
on
all
sides
.
A
companion
of
the
boy
who
knew
all
about
stage
magic
said
,
"
Okay
,
Speedy
,
where
’
s
the
steel
rod
?
"
The
kid
said
uncertainly
,
"
You
have
to
look
where
he
doesn
’
t
want
you
to
look
,
it
’
s
the
way
they
’
ve
got
those
lights
fixed
to
shine
right
into
your
eyes
.
"
Dr
.
Apollo
said
,
"
That
’
s
enough
sleep
,
fairy
princess
.
Give
me
your
hand
.
Wake
up
,
wake
up
!
"
He
took
her
hand
,
pulled
her
erect
and
helped
her
step
down
to
the
platform
.
(
"
You
see
?
You
saw
how
stiff
she
got
down
,
you
saw
where
she
put
her
foot
?
That
’
s
where
the
steel
rod
went
.
"
The
kid
added
with
satisfaction
,
"
Just
a
gimmick
.
"
)
The
magician
went
on
talking
,
"
And
now
friends
,
if
you
will
kindly
give
your
attention
to
our
learned
lecturer
,
Professor
Timoshenko
-
"
The
talker
cut
in
at
once
.
"

’
t

‘
way

Most
of
the
tip
was
turned
into
the
blow
-
off
.
A
few
wandered
around
,
then
started
to
leave
as
most
of
the
lights
in
the
main
tent
were
turned
off
.
The
freaks
and
other
carnies
started
packing
their
props
and
slum
preparatory
to
tear
-
down
.
There
was
a
train
jump
coming
in
the
morning
and
living
tops
would
remain
up
for
a
few
hours
sleep
,
but
canvas
boys
were
already
loosening
stakes
on
the
sideshow
top
.
Shortly
the
talker
-
owner
-
manager
of
the
ten
-
in
-
one
came
back
into
the
semi
-
darkened
tent
,
having
rushed
the
blow
-
off
and
spilled
the
last
marks
out
the
rear
exit
.
"
Smitty
,
don
’
t
go
‘
way
.
Got
something
for
you
.
"
He
handed
the
magician
an
envelope
,
which
Dr
.
Apollo
tucked
away
without
looking
at
it
.
The
manager
added
,
"
Kid
,
I
hate
to
tell
you
this
–
but
you
and
your
wife
ain
’
t
going
with
us
to
Paducah
.
"
"
I
know
