Oh, how broken-hearted I was because I
couldn’t go to the circus that evening! and
Mother called it foolishness! If she only

lady with the shilling black eyes sat there
sell-ing tickets; the people crowded about the
entrance, some had already begun to stream
in; the hig flag which served as a door was
constantly being drawn aside to let people in,
