People in the vicinity who had not before known of the presence of a circus, knew it now. Everybody talked at once, and every living thing made its own kind of a noise. Billy as Master of Ceremonies had his hands full, his voice full too, one might say.,"Of course it will," agreed Elinor heartily. "I'm glad you thought of it. I'd much rather not know.
