Circus (Term)

From: House of Zeor, Ch 12. In Describing the Wagons carrying the Gens to market. - 'The cages themselves were rectangular boxes divided into six equal compartments by a triple row of bars down the long axis and two triple rows across the short axis. The outside walls of the cages were double rows of bars, one row six inches inside the other and offset so that there was almost no space between bars.
The roofs and floors were solid metal. The whole unit was mounted on stubby legs fitted with rollers, and the whole unit looked like nothing so much as a circus wagon.'
Later in the same chapter Hugh describes Klyd's expression while witnessing a Kill as '...A cold calculating spectator at a...a...circus!'
