“We might,” insisted Connie. “Detective Clem Gregg told us that pickpockets usually follow the circus from one town to another.”
“That’s so, they do,” agreed Eva. “That man might be in the crowd at the show tomorrow.”
“I intend to watch for him if we’re still here,” announced Connie. “If Miss Gordon should recover her wrist watch, she might be glad we were carried away on the circus train!”
“I’ll keep my eyes open too,” offered the little circus girl. “If we see that old pickpocket, we’ll make Clem Gregg arrest him.”
CHAPTER 11
Feeding the Animals
THE next morning before Connie and Veve were dressed, Eva Leitsall came to their tent door.
“Wake up, you sleepy heads!” she called. “You slept most of yesterday, and now you’ll miss your breakfast if you don’t hurry.”
“Breakfast?” Connie mumbled, throwing off the covers. “Is it morning? What happened to last night?”
Jumping out of bed, she began to dress as rapidly as she could. Veve also leaped out and scrambled into her clothes. Both girls were annoyed to think they had spent so much time sleeping when they could have been exploring the circus lot.
