"I don't know Danny," replied the clown, "but I'll probably think up a way to get you into the circus even if you don't have a ticket." "Oh, can you?" cried Jerry excitedly. He got to his feet and in his eagerness put an arm over Whiteface's shoulder. "I'm sure I can if I think very hard," returned the clown. "You will think very hard, won't you? Please." "Oh, awfully hard," replied Whiteface.
Jerry suddenly sat down, for all eyes were directed towards him. He didn't look around for Danny and Chris, for he was too confused to face all those pairs of eyes. Four or five of the other clowns gathered about Whiteface, looked up at Jerry and clapped their hands, too.
"You're down there breathing the dust we make." "There's the house!" cried Jerry. "Which one?" asked Whiteface from his seat on the elephant's head. "The one with the paint all wore off," Danny explained. "There's Nora and Celia Jane!" cried Chris. "I see them!" Jerry exclaimed and called his mother's attention to them. They were standing by the gate, watching the strange procession approach.
In fact there was only one of them who really found out anything about Daddy that was worth knowing. Little Mrs. Ladybug, who was somewhat of a gossip, discovered in some way that Daddy Longlegs was a harvestman. And she lost no time in spreading the news far and wide. She even travelled as far as the big poplar, to tell Whiteface, the Carpenter Bee, what she had heard.
Mark Nelson missed sorely the cow which he had been compelled to yield to the squire on account of default of interest. Whiteface was his best cow, and a great favorite with all the children. She gave nearly as much milk as the other two, and had been one of the main dependences of the family.
"The other elephants are getting restless," said Mr. Burrows. "Get the boy down, Bowe, and take him with you to the dressing rooms. The act must go on." Whiteface went up to the elephant and began talking to her gently, patting her shoulder. Her keeper approached and ordered her to put Jerry down. "Down, Sult Anna, down!" cried Jerry.
Jerry stood up so he could see better, and as he did so the elephant's ear, which Whiteface had lifted up, wiggled and flopped out of the clown's hand. "She says four hundred and fifteen pounds is not too much on this occasion," Whiteface announced and directed the keeper to help Danny and Chris up to Sultana's back. But Danny and Chris didn't need any help in running up the ladder. Then Mr.
It was a man, and he wore a white skullcap over his head and a white, loose sort of gown with blue dots all over it. It was Whiteface, the clown, sitting on his heels right there in front of him!
"What does all this hullabaloo mean?" he asked Mrs. Mullarkey, in a gruff voice. "It means," said Whiteface, answering for her and advancing towards Mr. Darner, Jerry's hand held tightly in his, "that Jerry Elbow has found his parents and the people have followed us here to show how glad they are." "You his father? A clown in a circus?" asked Mr. Darner.
Suddenly there sounded the delightful clicking that Whiteface made with his mouth and Jerry's eyes almost popped out of his head in his eagerness for Whiteface to reappear. He watched the curtain where his everyday father had disappeared, without daring to wink his eyes for fear Whiteface would get in without his seeing him.
