I guess she'll do, said the tank-performer, as he came out.

I'll take her, Mr. Blossom, and trust to luck that she'll act with me in public. Now, can you ship her to me in good condition?
human
Oh, yes, I think so. I still have some of the shipping crates I used to use when on the theatrical circuit, and Lizzie is accustomed to traveling. You may have a little trouble with her in a new tank, and one of glass such as you use, but if you are patient with her I think she'll soon learn to do just what you want her to. That is the one great secret of training animals--seals or any other kind. One must be gentle and have infinite patience. I wish you good luck.

Thank you, replied Joe heartily.

If I can make this act go I think it will be a good thing for me and the circus, too.
