All the secret seven were in the circus field.0:58
They decided to go and see Trincula the acrobat again as an excuse for being there, but he was nowhere to be found.1:02
He's gone off to the town, said one of the other acrobats.1:14
What do you want him for?1:19
Oh, just to ask him if we can mess around a bit, said Jack.1:22
You know, have a squint at the animals and so on.1:27
Carry on, said the acrobat, and went off to his caravan.1:32
The children watched him in admiration.1:36
They went to look at the little bear, who, however, was fast asleep.1:41
Then they went cautiously over to the clothesline.1:47
Now perhaps someone was wearing them.1:55
Whoever it was would be the thief.1:58
The children walked round the field again, looking at the ankles of every man they saw.2:01
But all they could see had bare ankles.2:09
Nobody seemed to wear any socks at all.2:12
Louis came up to the lion's cage and unlocked it.2:19
He went inside and began to do the usual cleaning.2:23
He took no notice of the lions at all, and they took no notice of him.2:28
Janet thought it must be great to go and sweep all round the feet of lions and not mind it at all.2:34
He had his dirty flannel trousers rolled up to his knees.2:44
His legs, also dirty, were quite bare.2:48
On his feet were dirty old rubbish shoes.2:52
The children watched him for a little while and then turned to go.2:57
Another man came up as they were leaving and they looked down at his ankles to see what kind of socks he was wearing, if any.3:03
No socks too, of course.3:13
But something caught Jack's eyes and he stopped and stared at the man.3:16
Anything wrong with me?3:25
Jack turned to the others, his face red with excitement.3:32
He pushed them on a little till he was out of the man's hearing.3:38
Do you see that coat he was wearing?3:43
Its like that cap we found up in the tree, only not quite so filthy dirty.3:47
All seven turned to look round at the man who was by now painting the outside of the lion's cage, making it look a little better than before.3:57
He had taken off his coat and hung it on the handle of the lion's cage.4:09
How the seven wanted to go and compare the cap with the coat.4:16
Have you got the cap with you?4:22
Asked Pam in a whisper.4:25
Peter nodded and touched his coat pocket.4:27
He he had all the clues with him, of course.4:31
Their chance suddenly came.4:36
The man was called away by someone and went off, leaving his paint pot, brush and coat.4:38
Immediately the children went over to the coat.4:44
Pretend to be interested in the lion's cage while I compare the cap with the coat, said Peter in a low voice.4:49
They all began to look into the cage and talk about the lions while Peter pulled the cap out of his pocket and quickly put it against the coat.4:59
There was no doubt about it.5:10
The cap and coat matched perfectly.5:12
Then was this fellow who was painting the lion's cage the thief?5:16
But how did it happen that he had thrown his cap high up in a tree?5:22
Why did he leave it behind?5:27
It just didn't make sense.5:29
The man came back whistling.5:32
He stooped down to pick up his paintbrush and Colin got a splendid view of the top of his head.5:35
Then all the children moved off.5:45
They wanted to ask Peter about the cap.5:48
Once they were out of hearing, he nodded to them.5:52
That fellow may be the thief.5:59
We'll have to watch him.6:02
No good, said Colin unexpectedly.6:05
I just caught sight of the top of his head.6:09
He's got black hair, but no round bare place at the top like the man had who sat below me in the tree.6:12
