"I should say you could if you wanted to. You're pretty well off, and if I was as rich as you I wouldn't mind goin' to anything that comes round."
"You don't know anything about my circumstances. Besides I guess they'll give me my money back, if I tell 'em how I was deceived into buyin' tickets."
"Ask them, if you want to. If they'll do it, I'll go out."
The two made their way to the portal, and Tarbox said to the ticket-taker: "I only came in on business; I didn't come to see the show. I want to know if I can get my money back."
"Of course not," said that official.
"But I came in on business connected with the law."
"Can't help it! You've seen part of the show already; I saw you lookin' at the curiosities."
"I wanted to arrest one of the curiosities," said Tarbox, indignantly. "I wouldn't give two cents to see 'em all."
"Then if you're an enemy of the show, you can't expect any passes. Just stand aside and let people pass."
