Part 10 Trinculo the acrobat the words to be introduced before listening in dismay.0:11
Unila distinctly acetlieva to afford in delight to rub fur tame where stuck to spot.0:20
The seven stared at him in dismay.0:53
His head was completely bald except for a few grey hairs right on the very top.0:57
He couldn't possibly be the thief.1:03
Colin had distinctly seen the top of the thief's head when he had sat above him in the tree.1:07
And he had said that his hair was black except for a little round bald part in the centre.1:14
Colin took the wig in his hand.1:23
He looked at it carefully, wondering if perhaps the thief had worn the wig when he had stolen the necklace.1:26
But there was no little round bald patch in the centre.1:34
It was a thick black wig with no round bald parts at all.1:39
You seem to be very interested in my wig, said the acrobat, and he laughed.1:47
No acrobat can afford to be bald, you know.1:53
We have to look as young and beautiful as possible.1:56
Now I'll give you each my autograph, then you must be off.2:01
Thank you, said Peter and handed the man a piece of paper and a pencil.2:06
The little bear came out all by itself.2:14
Oh look, said Jane in delight.2:18
Oh, will it come to us, do you think?2:22
Come here, little bear.2:25
The bear came up and rubbed against Janet.2:28
She put her arms round it and tried to lift it, but it was unexpectedly heavy.2:32
A strange looking youth came after it and caught it by the fur at its neck.2:40
Ah, bad boy, he said and shook the little bear.2:47
Oh don't, said Janet.2:54
He only came over to see us.2:58
The youth was dressed rather strangely.3:03
He had on a woman's blouse, a hat with flowers in and dirty flannel trousers.3:07
Peter looked at him curiously as he led the little bear away.3:16
Was he in the circus?3:23
I don't remember him.3:27
Yes, he was one of the stilt walkers, said the acrobat, still busily writing autographs.3:30
He helps with all the animals.3:42
Do you want to come and see the bears in their cage sometime?3:45
They're very tame and old Jumbo.3:49
Our elephant would love to have a bun or two if you like to bring him some.3:52
He's as gentle as a big dog.3:58
Oh yes, wed love to, said Janet at once, thinking how much she would love to make friends with the dear little bear.4:02
Can we come tomorrow?4:11
Yes, come tomorrow morning, said the acrobat.4:13
I'll be about somewhere.4:21
The children thanked him and left the field they said nothing till they were well out of hearing of any of the circus people.4:23
I'm glad it wasn't that acrobat, said Janet.4:34
I like his funny face, too.4:40
I did get a shock when he took off his black hair.4:42
So did I, said Peter.4:47
I felt an idiot, too.4:49
I thought I had remembered how the thief had looked when I saw Trinculo's face.4:51
I really did think he looked like the thief.4:57
But he doesn't, of course.5:00
For one thing, the man I saw was much younger.5:02
We'd better not go by faces, it seems to me, said Colin.5:07
Better try to find someone who wears a blue pullover with a red thread running through it.5:13
We can't go all over the district looking for that, said Pam.5:21
Honestly, that's silly.5:25
Well, have you got a better idea?5:28
She hadn't, of course.5:33
Nor had anyone else were stuck, said Peter gloomily.5:35
This is a silly sort of mystery.5:41
We keep thinking we've got somewhere and then we find we haven't.5:44
Shall we go to the circus field tomorrow?5:51
Not try to find the thief, of course, because we know now that he isn't any of the acrobats.5:55
But should we go just to see the animals?6:02
Yes, I did like that little bear, said Janet.6:06
And I'd like to see old Jumbo close, too, as well.6:11
I don't think I'll come, said Barbara.6:18
I'm a bit afraid of elephants.6:21
I won't come either, said Jack.6:25
What about you, George?6:28
We said we'd work with stamps tomorrow, you know.6:30
Yes, well, we won't go either, said George.6:36
You don't mind, do you, Peter?6:40
I mean, it's nothing to do with a society going to make friends with bears and elephants.6:42
Well, Janet and Pam and Colin and I will go, said Peter.6:50
And mind, everyone is to watch out for a blue pullover with a little red line running through it.6:56
You simply never know what you can see if you keep your eyes open.7:04
You will be surprised to know what he and Janet were going to spot the very next day.7:12
