Excerpt from A Peep Behind the Scenes
Yet, in spite of this, and in Spite of the rain, a crowd Of Sunday idlers lingered about the fair, looking with great interest at the half-covered whirligigs and bicycles, peeping curiously into the deserted shows, and making many schemes for further enjoyment on the morrow, when the fair was once more to be in its glory.
Inside the caravans the Show-people were crouching over their fires and grumbling at the weather, murmur ing at having to pay so much for the ground on which their shows were erected, at a time when they would be likely to make SO little profit.
A little Old man, with a rosy, good-tempered face, was making his way across the sea of mud which divided the Shows from each other. He was evidently no idler in the fair; he had come into it that Sunday afternoon for a definite purpose, and he did not intend to leave it until it was accomplished. After crossing an almost impassable place, he climbed the steps leading to one of the caravans and knocked at the door.
