She was standing in front of a booth talking to a group of clowns, comic policemen and ringmasters. She was dressed in the costume of an Egyptian snake charmer, a costume carried out to the smallest detail. Her tawny hair was braided and drawn through brass rings, the effect crowned with a glittering Oriental tiara.
A great tent fly had been put up inside the ballroom and round the walls had been built rows of booths representing the various attractions of a circus side show, but these were now vacated and on the floor swarmed a shouting, laughing medley of youth and colour clowns, bearded ladies, acrobats, bareback riders, ringmasters, tattooed men and charioteers.
"Several of the gentlemen" she continued hopefully, "are wearing stovepipe hats and swallow-tail coats and going as ringmasters but we're all out of tall hats. I can let you have some crape hair for a mustache." "Want somep'n 'stinctive." "Something let's see. Well, we have a lion's head, and a goose, and a camel " "Camel?"

"So that accounts for the nervous motions, eh?" says I. "What does Pa Pulsifer have to say to this defi?" "Goodness!" says Ferdie, shudderin'. "He doesn't know. No one dares tell him a word. If he found out well, it would be awful!" "Huh!" says I. "One of these fam'ly ringmasters, is he?"
Say, if she only would, and I could join some show, and travel and see things and live!" Andy threw himself flat on the green sward. He closed his eyes and gave himself up to a rapture of thought. Gay banners, brightly comparisoned horses, white wildernesses of circus tents, tinselled clowns, royal ringmasters, joyful strains of music floated through his active brain.
