Trot laughed. "That isn't the kind of circus I mean," she said; "we're to be the circus!"
Toddles looked more astonished than ever.
"We shall ask the party to sit in a circle," said Trot; "and then we shall do things. Perhaps we may as well settle now what to do."
"We must jump through hoops, of course," said Toddles.
"And walk about with things on our heads," said Trot; "balancing, they call it."
"I do wish we could walk on a rope like the man did the other day," said Toddles.
"We will," said Trot, writing busily.
The spelling was rather a trouble to her; but Toddles quite approved of it, and both children were satisfied with the programme when it was finished, though perhaps any one else might have found difficulty in understanding it. It looked something like this:
"4 TEA AFTER TEA JUMPING THREW HOOPS BALLUNCING TITE ROPES."
"Won't they be surprised?" said Toddles.
