Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mid the Thick Arrows Percival Earl OF Alcester, having attained the ripe age of eighteen years, thought very little of a circus as an entertainment for men; and he did not hesitate to tell his tutor as much when they had taken their seats in a private box and settled themselves comfortably to wait for La belle Esmeralda. "Just what I said," he grumbled, as he put away his hat beneath the velvet fauteuil, and surveyed the mighty audience with lofty disdain - "the old beastly rot. One ass who puts down a carpet and another who rolls it up. You can see that in London, Philip; there´s no need to come to Paris to make a cab-horse go round and round. We should have had some fun at the Moulin Rouge. Just as if I haven´t seen enough of the world to take care of myself. Oh, you bet, I know a thing or two!" Philip, a weary tutor, paid five hundred pounds a year to keep the omniscient youth out of mischief, hastened to apologise for his shortcomings. It was true, he admitted, that a great deal of moral instruction might be had at the Moulin Rouge, and, of course, a circus was a children´s entertainment.
