The Adventures Of Mr. Maximillian Bacchus And His Travelling Circus - Plot & Excerpts
Maximillian Bacchus and His Travelling Circus “Well,” said Mr. Bacchus finally. “You have been most generous with your assistance. What can we offer you in return? Only the Circus. The songs! The Excitement! The laughter! Well, perhaps not the laughter. Still, the least we can do is give you a free performance.”“But the trolls,” said one man. “Suppose they return?”“I have my whip,” replied Mr. Bacchus. “Which they cower before. You and your families will be quite safe.”“Yes,” said the blacksmith. “What have we to fear from them? They’ve claimed their victim; they will be sated with their mischief.”This seemed to satisfy the men, and they took the road back to the town to collect their wives and children. It was almost dark by the time the stage, the lights and the flags had been once more prepared for the performance, and the audience had drifted in from the town, their faces nervous and pale.Ophelia performed once more, although every now and then she looked as if she might cry.
