[Those Extraordinary Twins by Mark Twain]@TWC D-Link bookThose Extraordinary Twins CHAPTER IX 3/5
Whenever Luigi had possession of the legs, he carried Angelo to balls, rum shops, Sons of Liberty parades, horse-races, campaign riots, and everywhere else that could damage him with his party and the church; and when it was Angelo's week he carried Luigi diligently to all manner of moral and religious gatherings, doing his best to regain the ground he had lost before.
As a result of these double performances, there was a storm blowing all the time, an ever-rising storm, too--a storm of frantic criticism of the twins, and rage over their extravagant, incomprehensible conduct. Luigi had the final chance.
The legs were his for the closing week of the canvass.
He led his brother a fearful dance. But he saved his best card for the very eve of the election.
There was to be a grand turnout of the Teetotalers' Union that day, and Angelo was to march at the head of the procession and deliver a great oration afterward.
