But these Circus clowns and aerialists will no longer live on promises: in The Honourable Schoolboy they jostle and clamor for the reader's attention.

But just like old times, he crooned hoary favorites such as Hound Dog and Teddy Bear, and when he periodically tossed a sweat-stained scarf to the peons below, he set off a clawing clamor.
