    They called him "Barret the Tumbler" and you can easily guess why. I never saw him until I saw the people crowd around him. There I saw him, his canvas bag spread and the mud mood and he acting better than the best clown I ever saw. Another day I would have lost all, when I saw the people crowd round him. I walked towards him and there I saw "moduine" cracking bottles with his teeth like we would eat bread.
