Especially
after
a
good
meal
.
"
"
And
you
can
sing
?
"
"
Yes
,
"
returned
Passepartout
,
who
had
formerly
been
wont
to
sing
in
the
streets
.
"
But
can
you
sing
standing
on
your
head
,
with
a
top
spinning
on
your
left
foot
,
and
a
sabre
balanced
on
your
right
?
"
"
Humph
!
I
think
so
,
"
replied
Passepartout
,
recalling
the
exercises
of
his
younger
days
.
"
Well
,
that
's
enough
,
"
said
the
Honourable
William
Batulcar
.
The
engagement
was
concluded
there
and
then
.
Passepartout
had
at
last
found
something
to
do
.
He
was
engaged
to
act
in
the
celebrated
Japanese
troupe
.
It
was
not
a
very
dignified
position
,
but
within
a
week
he
would
be
on
his
way
to
San
Francisco
.
The
performance
,
so
noisily
announced
by
the
Honourable
Mr.
Batulcar
,
was
to
commence
at
three
o'clock
,
and
soon
the
deafening
instruments
of
a
Japanese
orchestra
resounded
at
the
door
.
Passepartout
,
though
he
had
not
been
able
to
study
or
rehearse
a
part
,
was
designated
to
lend
the
aid
of
his
sturdy
shoulders
in
the
great
exhibition
of
the
"
human
pyramid
,
"
executed
by
the
Long
Noses
of
the
god
Tingou
.
This
"
great
attraction
"
was
to
close
the
performance
.
Before
three
o'clock
the
large
shed
was
invaded
by
the
spectators
,
comprising
Europeans
and
natives
,
Chinese
and
Japanese
,
men
,
women
and
children
,
who
precipitated
themselves
upon
the
narrow
benches
and
into
the
boxes
opposite
the
stage
.
The
musicians
took
up
a
position
inside
,
and
were
vigorously
performing
on
their
gongs
,
tam-tams
,
flutes
,
bones
,
tambourines
,
and
immense
drums
.
