v. The Siamese Twins.
Two gentlemen dressed alike in ordinary costume; with a large bone (attached by wire or string) between them. One arm of each over the other’s neck. Pugnacious expression of countenance.
“The Wonderful Siamese Twins compose the next group. These remarkable brothers lived together in the greatest harmony, though there was always a bone of contention between them. They were never seen apart, such was their brotherly fondness. They married young, both being opposed to a single life. The short one is not quite so tall as his brother, although their ages are about the same. One of them was born in the Island of Borneo, the other on the southern extremity of Cape Cod.”
When wound up they begin to fight, continue for a moment, and stop suddenly.
vi. The Celebrated Dwarf.
Boy with red cloak, long white wig, bowl and spoon.
