He fell, but didn't hurt himself much; only the audience laughed, even the princess Zueline in the box. I rode the pony pretty well, but he was too big for the ring in the barn, and Charley King who tried to sing "Never Take the Horseshoe from the Door" forgot part of it, and had to back into the corn crib which was the dressin' room.
Grandma said it was silly for two children to act that a way, or at least for Mitch to act that a way. Zueline warn't doin' anything except just to be Zueline to Mitch she wasn't as much in love with Mitch as he was with her. Then grandpa came in and said we'd all go to Bobtown the next day, that his spring wagon was done and we'd go over and get it.
Then we got to work to get up our circus. Zueline had her Ayrdale and we cooped him up for a lion; we put the cat in a box for a tiger, and the rooster for an ostrich, and Mitch caught a snake, and I had my pony to play Robbins' son, and Myrtle was goin' to be the woman who et fire.
Hasson, 'except I never see a boy of his age so attached to a girl, so in love with her, she says, 'for that's it; and it won't do. And ma says, 'I never noticed it. Of course I knew they played together and was little sweethearts like children will be. All the children play together just like lambs, as you might say. 'Well, says Mrs. Hasson, 'they are lambs; Zueline is a lamb and so is Mitch.
Mitch said that in Europe they had a royal box for queens and princesses, so he built a kind of box for Zueline to sit in, and see the circus, and draped it with rag carpets and put a mirror in it. It was awful pretty. Mitch was gate-keeper and manager.
Hasson began by sayin' to ma: 'I think you have a very remarkable boy, and I don't want to see any harm come to him, and so I've come over here, Mrs. Miller, to talk about your boy and Zueline. 'What's the matter? says ma, in a scared way. 'Nothing, says Mrs.
Miller say to my pa that he was worried about Mitch; that Mitch talked in his sleep and ground his teeth, and talked about engines and horses and findin' pistols and treasure, and ridin' on steamboats, and about Zueline and Tom Sawyer. And he said he'd tried to get him to go out to the farm with me and ride horses and get a change, but he wouldn't.
So after a bit I says: "Well, Mitch, you know me I'm true blue, and I'll stand by you, and if you want to tell me, just tell me, and I'll never peach as long as I live." So Mitch says: "Well, Skeet, I have a different feelin' toward you from what I have towards Zueline. You see I don't want to protect you, or take care of you, and of course I'd fight for you, or help you any way I could.
It was this: Robbins' Circus had come to town, and his son, who was awful handsome, was a bareback rider, and had set the town wild, and Zueline came to Mitch and made him get up a circus. That took time, for we had to practice. We went to the real circus, Mitch and me, and earned the money ourselves.
So we threw a blanket over Fanny and Mitch took Zueline home, and I went home and waited for Mitch to come. When he did come he was in better spirits. Zueline had cheered him up. He said he worshiped her that he'd kill any one who spoke a bad word about her, and that he intended to protect her as long as he lived. Then Mitch and me went to my house.
