I was careful not to make any reference to Zarlah, as I felt that my second meeting with her would put me in a much better position to approach Almos on this extremely delicate subject and lay before him my plans.

"I was bringin' back de Calico Clown, an' I 'mos' fell into a big hole." "There, Father! I told you that hole ought to be covered up!" exclaimed Mirabell's mother, who had also come to the door. "Oh, no'm! I didn't fall in!" answered Jim, who heard what was said. "But I almos' did, an' I guess de Clown he fell in complete an' altogether." "The Clown? What do you mean?" asked Daddy.
