“This is one of the most expensive of my costly collection, for blonde hair is very high, and you see how heavy and long are the golden locks which adorn her beautiful face. I cannot pass this figure without saying a few words in praise of the wonderful Hair Restorer, for this image had grown so bald from the effect of long journeys by road or rail that she was exhibited for two years as the Old Man of the Mountain. One bottle of this wonderful fluid, however, restored her hair to its present growth and beauty, and a little of the fluid being accidentally spilled upon the pine box in which the figure was carried, it immediately became an excellent hair-trunk.”
When wound up the lady applies the hair-restorative and curls her hair.
“You have all gazed with rapture upon my wonderful Collection, and your bewildered senses may now prepare for a new sensation, as I am about to wind up all these beautiful and lifelike figures at once, so that you can see them all work together in harmony.
“John, set all the Waxworks going.
“I thank you for your attention and attendance, and cordially invite you all to come again to-morrow and see ‘Jarley’s Far-famed Waxworks.’”
All the figures being wound up at once go through their motions in unison.
