There isn't
a thing goes on in this show that he doesn't find out about,
sooner or later, and he is going to find out about this."
"I didn't do anything. You did, when you had a scrap with those
two fellows out on the lot."
"You forget that you started the row by emptying a pail of water
on Larry's head. Don't you call that starting doing anything?
I do."
Phil had to laugh at the comical expression on his
companion's face.
"Well, maybe."
"And we haven't heard the last of those fellows yet. They're mad
all through. I am sorry I had to hit them. But they would have
used me badly had I not done something to protect myself.
I should tell the whole matter to Mr. Sparling, were it not that
I would get others into trouble. That I wouldn't do."
"I should think not."
"By the way, Teddy, there come the bareback riders. Don't you
follow after their act?"
"My! That's so. I had forgotten all about that. Thought I was
watching the show just like the rest of the folks."
"Better hustle, or you won't get into your makeup in time
to go on. There'll be a row for certain if you are late."
But Teddy already had started on a run for the dressing tent,
bowling over a clown at the entrance to the paddock and bringing
down the wrath of that individual as he hustled for the
dressing tent and began feverishly getting into his ring clothes.
