sack. This done, he asks for 4 plaster, and
some one tells him be can have it If he will
put out his hands and take it. He puts out
his hand free, draws 1t back, and then is taken
out OF t. @ satk bound as at first. He is put
10 again, and comes out unbound, handing to
the spectators small tray, upon which are
tour or five little plates filled with various
eatables which the spectators eat"
