Peter looked at his watch.0:44
It's nearly dinner time.0:46
We must all get back home as fast as we can.0:48
Meet at half past two again Secret Seven.0:51
We can't, said Pam and Barbara were going to a party.0:55
Don't have a meeting without us, begged Pam.1:01
I can't come either, said George.1:04
So we'd better make it tomorrow anyway.1:07
If the thief is one of the acrobats at the circus, he won't be leaving this afternoon.1:11
He'll stay there till the circus goes.1:16
Well, it's only just a chance.1:21
He might be an acrobat, said Janet.1:23
I only just said it could only be an acrobat that scaled that high wall.1:25
I didn't really mean it.1:31
It's worth looking into anyhow, said Peter.1:34
Well meet tomorrow at half past nine, then.1:39
And will everybody please think hard and have some kind of plan to suggest?1:43
I'm sure we shall think of something good.1:50
Everyone thought hard that day.1:54
Even Pam and Barbara whispered together in the middle of their party.1:57
I vote we go and see the circus, whispered Pam.2:02
Don't you think it would be a good idea?2:09
Then we can see if Peter recognises any of the acrobats as the thief he saw hiding under that bush.2:11
When the Secret Seven met the next day, saying the password as they went through the door of the shed, everyone seemed to have exactly the same idea.2:21
We should visit the circus, began George.2:32
That's just what Pam and I thought, said Barbara.2:37
I thought so too, said Colin.2:40
In fact, it's the only sensible thing to do.2:44
Don't you think so, Peter?2:48
Yes.2:51
Janet and I looked in the local paper and we found that the circus opens this afternoon, said Peter.2:52
What about us all going to see it?2:59
I don't know if I would recognise any of the acrobats as the thief.3:02
I really only caught just a glimpse of him, you know.3:06
But it's worth trying.3:11
You said he was dark and clean shaven, said Colin.3:14
And I saw that his hair was black.3:18
Anyway, he had a little round thin place on the top.3:21
But it isn't much to go on, is it?3:26
Has anyone got any money?3:29
Asked Pam.3:31
To buy circus tickets.3:33
I mean, I haven't any at all because I had to buy a Birthday present to take to the party yesterday.3:34
Everyone turned out their pockets.3:44
The money was put on the table and counted.3:47
The tickets are 30 pence for children, said Peter.3:52
30 pence?3:58
They must think that children are made of money.4:00
We've got £1 20 here, that's all.4:04
Only four of us can go.4:07
I've got 60 pence in my money box, said Janet.4:11
And I've got 29 pence at home, said Colin.4:15
Anyone got the odd penny?4:20
Oh, yes.4:23
I'll borrow it from Susie, said Jack.4:24
Well, don't go and tell her the password in return for the penny, said Colin.4:28
And got a kick from Jack.4:34
Right, that looks as if we can all go after all, said Peter.4:38
Pleased.4:43
Meet at the circus field 10 minutes before the circus begins.4:44
Don't be late, anyone, and keep your eyes open for anyone wearing a dark blue pullover with a tiny thread of red in it, because it's pretty certain the thief as a jersey or pullover made of that wool.4:49
Everyone was very punctual.5:06
All but Pam had money with them, so Peter gave her enough for her ticket.5:09
They went to the ticket box and bought seven tickets, feeling really rather excited.5:16
A circus was always fun, but to go to a circus and keep a lookout for a thief was even more exciting than usual.5:22
Soon they were all sitting in their seats, looking down on the ring in the middle of the great tent.5:33
The band struck up a gay tune and a drum sounded loud.5:40
The children sat up, excited.5:45
In came the horses, walking proudly.5:48
In came the clowns, waving their hands and smiling.5:50
In came the bears, in came all the performers, one after another, greeting the audience with smiles.5:53
The children watched out for the acrobats, but they were all mixed up with the other performers.6:02
It was impossible to tell which were the acrobats.6:08
They are third on the programme, said Peter.6:13
First come the horses, then the clowns and then the acrobats.6:17
So they waited, clapping the beautiful dancing horses and laughing at the funny clown until their sides ached.6:23
Now for the acrobats, said Peter excitedly.6:32
Watch, Colin, watch.6:35
