Miss Gordon and the Brownies did not wish to be late either. Hastily, they walked to the entrance gate of the big tent.
All along the passageway were wild animals in cages. However, the Brownies did not take time to look at them. As it was, they barely reached their seats high in the stand before a shrill whistle announced the start of the circus.
Connie and the Brownies drew happy sighs as they peered down at the three sawdust rings. After all their worry and trouble, they hadn’t missed a thing.
CHAPTER 6
A Little Circus Rider
AS the circus procession swept into the main tent, the Brownies caught their breath. Never before had they seen anything so elegant!
At the head of the parade rode a lady on a milk-white horse. Wearing a white silk gown and a hat with a long plume, she carried an American flag.
Behind came many of the performers dressed in sparkling costumes.
Six elephants followed in single file. A man who rode the lead animal used a long rod to guide his mount.
Next came the horses, ridden by circus performers.
