SPECTATORS (_passing in front of groups of models arranged in realistic
surroundings_). All the faces screwed up to suffering, you see!... What
a nice patient expression that officer on the stretcher has! Yes,
they've given _him_ a wax head--some of them are only _papier-mache_....
Pity they couldn't get nearer their right size in 'elmets, though, ain't
it?... There's _one_ chap's given up the ghost!... I know that stuffed
elephant--he comes from the Indian Jungle at the Colinderies!... I _do_
think it's a pity they couldn't get something more _like_ a mule than
this wooden thing! Why, it's quite _flat_, and its ears are only
leather, nailed on!... You can't tell, my dear; it may be a peculiar
breed out there--cross between a towel-horse and a donkey-engine, don't
you know!
