By the time the show started I reckon they was nigh a thousand there.

The doctor and the Blanchet Brothers was tickled.

When they quit coming fast the doctor left the gate and made a little speech, telling all about the wonderful show, and the great expense it was to get it together, and all that.
They was a rope stretched between the crowd and us.

Back of that was the Blanchet Brothers' wagon and our wagon, and our little tent.

I was jest inside the tent with chains on.
