The "little lady" appears.

She is somewhat over six feet six in height and built like a
boilermaker. She is dressed in pink tights.

"Six Minutes of Beauty" begins when Helen picks up three large
iron cannon balls and juggles them. She tosses them in the air
and catches them cleverly on the back of her neck.

The six minutes are brought to a successful conclusion when
Helen, hanging head downward by one foot from a trapeze, balances
lighted lamp on the other foot and plays Beethoven's Fifth
Symphony on the slide trombone.

The announcer then begins his lecture. Priscilla has by this
time gotten used to the overpowering roar of his voice and she
discovers that once this difficulty is overcome she is
tremendously impressed by his words.

She becomes more and more attracted to the man. She listens,
fascinated, as his lecture draws to a close and he offers his
medicine for sale. She presses forward through the crowd of
Indians surrounding the stand. She reaches the tent. She gives
her coin and receives in return a bottle. She hides it in her
cape and hurries home.

She slips in the back way; she pours some of the medicine into a
glass; she drinks it.
