"We should bring him back to Poor Jane of course," said Humpty. "But how shall we know whether he is her brother?" "He will look like her, of course, stupid," replied Humpty, a little crossly, for he was beginning to feel sleepy. They had an early dinner next day, and then Edward brought the pony round to the door, and they set off for Woodstead.
"Are you taking the children to the circus?" asked Mrs. Moses, the shopwoman. The twins pricked up their ears. "When is it?" asked Nan. "To-morrow, at Woodstead," answered Mrs.
"I think it is locked," said Humpty at last, sitting down despondently. He was panting breathlessly, and began to swing his legs. Dumpty's eyes grew wide with terror, her lips trembled. "Have they locked us in on purpose?" she asked. "Yes," said Humpty, "the circus people have locked us in, and they won't unlock the door until they have left Woodstead." "And then?" asked Dumpty.
Nurse had been promised to-morrow off, so that she might have tea with her sister, who lived at Woodstead, but she had very kindly said that she would be quite willing to take the twins with her, and put them into seats in the circus, and then she would come for them at the end of the performance. The twins were delighted, and almost too excited to speak.
One day, when she was a girl, her mother took her to a circus at Woodstead, and when they came home, after it was over, they were told the sad news that Jane's brother had fallen from the top of a wagon of hay on to his head. He died a few hours later.
