"I am not going to stir! I am just going to lie down here and sleep until morning! Enough has happened for one day."
So he stretched out, with a pen wiper for a cushion, and went to sleep.
Bright and early the next morning Sidney ran over to the house of his cousins.
"Is my Calico Clown here?" he cried.
"Yes," answered Arnold, who was also up. "I'll get him for you."
"Oh, thank you!" said Sidney, when he had his toy once more. And a little later the Calico Clown was back home. But his adventures were not over.
CHAPTER X
THE TOY PARTY
"Oh, Sidney! aren't you glad you have your Calico Clown back?" cried his sister Madeline when she saw her brother coming toward the house with his toy which he had got at Arnold's home. "I just guess I am!" said the little boy. "I thought I'd never see him again."
"And I'm glad, too," cried Herbert, as he made his Monkey go up and down the Stick. "Now we can get ready for our circus."
