Chapter 7 IN THE CIRCUS FIELD
Nobody wanted to spend a long time over tea. They all longed to go down to the field and set up theirlittle camp.
'We shall have a wonderful look-in at what goes on in a circus camp,' said Dick. 'We shall be livingso near the circus folk! I do hope Mischief1 won't get too friendly with the people there.
They might take him away with them when they leave.'
'Indeed they won't!' said Tinker, fiercely. 'What a thing to say! As if Mischief would go with them,anyhow! I don't expect he'll mix with the circus crowd at all.'
'You wait and see!' grinned Dick. 'Now buck2 up with your tea - I'm longing3 to go and set our camp inthe field, and see what's going on there.'
It wasn't long before they were ready. They were soon down by the fence, and gazed over it inamazement. Great vans were in the field, all with Mr. Tapper's name on and all painted in gaycolours. There were caravans5 too, much smaller than the great vans, and these had windows, eachwith neat lace curtains. The circus folk lived in the caravans, of course, and George found herselfwishing that she herself could go about in one, instead of living in a house that couldn't moveanywhere!
'Look at the horses!' cried Dick, as a bunch of them appeared with tossing heads and beautiful longthick tails. The boy who had knocked Tinker down was with them, whistling. They were all comingfrom a big horse-van, and were delighted to be in a field with lush green grass.
'Is that field gate properly shut?' yelled an enormous voice, and the boy yelled back, 'Yes, Grandad. Ishut it. There's nowhere the horses can get out. My word - don't they like this grass!'
Then he saw Julian and the others all looking over the fence, and waved to them. 'See our horses?
Aren't they a grand lot?'
And, just to show off a little, he leapt on to the back of the nearest one, and went all round the edge ofthe field with it. George watched him enviously6. If only she could have a horse like that!
'Well, let's take our camp things into the field,' said Tinker. 'The nearer we are to the circus the better.
We ought to have some fun.'
He climbed over the fence and Dick followed. 'I'll hand everything over,' said Julian. 'George canhelp me - she's as good as a boy any day!'
