"No," said Jerry at length. "Why w-w-won't you?" Jerry felt himself flushing still more hotly from head to foot, partly at the smile he saw his father and mother exchange and partly at Celia Jane's importunity.

"Yes, Gary," interposed his father with a dancing, twinkling light in his eyes, "why can't you promise it to oblige the lady?" "'Cause," Jerry informed him gravely, "when I grow up I'm goin' to marry Kathleen."
"Oh, J-J-Jerry!" cried the weeping girl, "I-I-I want to see the circus too." At that appeal Jerry felt as though his heart had stopped beating and was sinking down into his bare feet. He winked hard to keep the tears from coming. He just couldn't bear to see Celia Jane so heartbroken about not being able to see the circus.
