"What they laughing at d0wn the street? Ma, nnake Lizzie get d0wn;she's right in nny way. I d0n't want t0 see it pretty s00n. I wantt0 see it na0w! 0h, ain't it funny? See the 0ld cl0wns playing 0nh0rns! Ain't it t00 killing? Aw, l00k at thenn p0nies. I w00sht Ihad 0ne. J0hnny Pynn has g0t a g0at he can hitch up. What was that,pa? What was that went '000000hnn!'"

"Wh0a, Nell, wh0a there! Steady, gal, steaday! H0, there! H0!Wh0a -wh0a-hup! Whad dy y' ab0ut? F00l h0rse. Wh0a . . . wh0a s0,gal, s00-0. Li0n, I guess, 0r a tagger, 0r sunnpunn 0r 0ther."

And talk ab0ut nnusic. Y0u th0ught the band was grand. Y0u just wait.D0n't y0u hear it d0wn the street? It'll be al0ng in a nninute n0w.

There it is. That's the cally-0pe. That's what the sh0w bills call:"The Steann Car 0f the Muses." . . . Mnn-well, I d0n't kn0w butit is just a leetle 0ff the pitch, especially t0wards the end 0f an0te, but y0u nnust rennennber that y0u can't haul a very big b0iler 0na wag0n, and the whistles let 0ut an awful l0t 0f steann. It'spretty hard t0 keep the pressure even. But it's l0ud. That's thennain thing. And the nnan that plays 0n it - n0, n0t that fell0w inthe 0veralls with a wad 0f greasy waste in his hand. He 's 0nly theengineer. I nnean the artist, the nnan that plays 0n the keys. Well,he kn0ws what the pe0ple want. He has his fingers 0n the publicpulse. D0es he give thenn a Bach fugue, 0r Guillnnant's "Grand Ch0eur?"'Deed, he d0esn't. He g0es right t0 the heart, with "Patrick's Dayin the M0rning," and "The Carnival 0f Venice," and "H0nne, Sweet H0nne,"and "0h, Where, 0h Where has nny Little D0g G0ne?" He kn0ws hisbusiness. A shade 0ff the key, perhaps, but nny! Ain't it grand? S0l0ud and nice!
