If it was nearer town you would find an orchestra in each amphitheater up there, with sideshows in every couloir. — The Silent Barrier, Louis Tracy
Rent him out to a sideshow; there must be folks somewhere that would pay a dime to see him, then she cried more and kept saying my poor afflicted baby and I says yes he’ll be quite a help to you when he gets his growth not being more than one and a half times as high as me now and she says she’d be dead soon and then we’d all be better off and so I says all right, all right, have it your way. — The sound and the fury, William Faulkner
