UBI Raitis von the seven went to sit on the rails of the fence that ran round the circus field.1:06
They felt disappointed to think.1:18
We find somebody wearing a coat that exactly matches the cap we found and yet he can't possibly be the thief because the top of his head is wrong, said Peter.1:22
I must say this is a most disappointing adventure.1:33
We keep finding out exciting things and each time they lead us nowhere at all.1:37
And if we find anyone wearing those socks that we are sure belong to the thief, it won't be him at all either, said Janet.1:45
It would probably be his aunt or something.1:54
That made everyone laugh.1:59
Anyway, said Peter, we're not absolutely certain that the cap has anything to do with the theft of the necklace.2:02
We only found it high up in a tree, you know, near where the thief climbed over the wall.2:11
It has got something to do with the mystery, said George.2:18
Though I can't for the life of me think how they all sat on the fence and stared solemnly over the field.2:25
What an annoying adventure this was.2:36
And then Janet gave a little shout.2:40
Have you thought of something?2:45
No, but I see something, said Janet, and she pointed over to the right.2:49
The others looked where she pointed, and how they stared.2:55
The field was rather wet just there, and in the damp part were round regular marks just like those they had seen by the wall, and very like the smaller marks made by the one legged man near his cottage.3:01
I think these marks are the right size, said Peter, jumping down in excitement.3:18
They look bigger than the marks made by the one legged man's wooden leg.3:25
He got out his bit of string and laid it carefully across one of the marks, then across another and another.3:33
He looked up joyfully.3:41
Exactly the same size.3:45
Every one of these round marks is the same as those we saw in the ground below the wall the thief climbed.3:47
Then there must be another one legged man here in the circus.3:57
A man with a wooden leg that measures the same as those round marks, said Colin excitedly.4:02
He's not the thief because a one legged man couldn't climb the wall.4:11
But I'm sure he was with the thief.4:16
We must find him, said George.4:21
If we can find who his friend is or who he shares a caravan with, we shall know his friend is the thief.4:24
And I expect we'll find that the thief is wearing those socks too.4:32
We're getting warmer.4:38
Peter shouted to the small circus girl who was nearby.4:42
We want to talk to the one legged man here which is his caravan.4:50
Don't be silly, said the small girl.4:57
There isn't any one legged man here.5:00
What'd he be doing in a circus?5:04
All of us here have got our two legs and need them.5:07
Now look here, said Peter firmly.5:13
We know there is a one legged man here and we mean to see him.5:16
Here's some chocolate if you'll tell us where he is.5:22
The little girl took the chocolate at once.5:27
Chocolate for nothing, she said.5:33
I tell you there isn't any one legged fellow here.5:36
And before they could ask her anything else, she was gone.5:42
You run after her and spank her.5:47
Called a woman from a nearby caravan.5:50
But she won't tell you no different.5:53
We haven't got any one legged man here.5:56
She went into her caravan and shut the door.6:01
The seven felt quite taken aback.6:05
First we find marks outside Chimney Cottage and are certain they belong to the thief.6:10
But they belong to a one legged man who has nothing to do with this adventure.6:17
And then we find the right marks, right size and all and we're told there isn't a one legged man here at all.6:23
It's really very puzzling.6:32
Lets follow the marks, said Janet.6:36
We shall find them difficult to see in the longer grass, but maybe we can spot enough to follow them up.6:39
They did manage to follow them.6:48
They followed them to a small caravan parked not far off the lion's cage, next to a caravan where Louis was sitting on the steps.6:50
He watched them in surprise.7:01
They went up the steps of the small caravan and looked inside.7:04
It seemed to be full of different circus properties.7:09
Nobody appeared to live there.7:13
A stone fell down near to them and made them jump.7:17
You clear off where you've no business to be.7:22
Shouted Louis and picked up another stone.7:25
