 Jerry of the circus I can imagine I just finished settling some business with Mr. Thomas the bookkeeper and decided I'd better get out and stretch my leg a bit that's a good idea then you can see how much work everyone's done today too it's just what I'm noticing my orders couldn't have been carried out better by done to myself worry able to borrow all the money you needed mr. Randall it's going to be taken care of all right mr. Thomas and I have just been going over that very thing boy that's your an awful lot of money not for putting a circus in shape it's not we're only going to borrow it for 30 days anyhow you mean you'll be able to pay it back by then well I certainly hope so but I should think it'd take a year mr. Randall you you forget Jerry that the circus is an all-year-round job but it only makes money during the season yeah I can see that so although it seems like an awful lot of money to make in so short a time it's got to pay tremendous bills all the year round or the circus wouldn't be a going concern I guess that's all right I think we'll be able to square ourselves in a month if not then we're just have to get an extension on the loan you see we don't want to pay interest on so much money for longer than necessary of course not have you seen Jason Jerry no he didn't come into dinner someone said he's been awful busy with the lion oh and I thought I'd drop by and see him I'd like to see myself I got so busy helping uncle Dan this afternoon that gee we showed hundreds of people over the lot today boy they sure went for that idea that is he brought me the receipts a little while ago if he can do as well again tomorrow it'll help us quite a bit he's a smart man your uncle he's well too oh same as Randall what is it Jerry while you're making the rounds you better stop by and see why he's been having trouble with lady and splendor tonight what's the matter I don't know they wouldn't eat and they both acted so nervous and funny that you don't say why he's awful upset he's not sure whether they're just nervous as a result of that cyclone or whether something's really wrong well I'll drop by and see those horses are so highly bred that they're likely to be more sensitive than some animals they sure are beautiful both of them right now coming right oh fatty sure mr. Randall and me oh mr. Randall to say that is not I was just coming to see a mr. Randall that's nice Patsy you know I'm always happy to see you thank you sure we all are aren't we rain oh you people certainly know how to make me feel welcome oh well I'll ask you a favor all right that's it what is it I can't anymore and say no well I've just heard that we're not opening until we hit Harper city that's right two days in this outfit should be in shape there isn't really much of anything I can do around here to help my costumes and things are all in shape and I was wondering if you mind if I went on ahead and waited for the circus in Harper city I don't see why not oh that's nice of you mr. Randall you see this inheritance thing has come up and I'm supposed to see some lawyers there now that's right I forgot all about that Patsy you with that you're excited Patsy you know yet well so far I don't know the thing about it Jerry but the estate is being handled from there and I thought it would simplify matters if I could get there and had things cleared up before we open well it's a very good idea those inheritance things often involve a lot of red tape don't I know that all the trouble I had trying to get that safety deposit box dad left why it was weeks and weeks so you see an extra day or so there might might help out a lot my dear young lady you go right ahead we'll miss you but you go ahead when we are planning to leave well there's a night train leaving here about 11 o'clock I'd be there in the morning and that's fine Patsy and got someone to take you to the station oh I can manage I'm used to taking care of myself I'll tell you what Patsy we're gonna see Jason now I'll tell him you're leaving and he and I'll ride over with you huh all that sweet of you Jerry but it isn't at all necessary oh gee we loved you mr. Randall and I were just heading for Jason now that he missed dinner and we wanted to see what was wrong it's the detective yeah but it's inconvenient don't know you bother I'll be my wagon packing I've got a good hour yet okay I'll be over in a jiffy so on Patsy bye Jerry and goodbye Patsy take good care of yourself well isn't she mr. Randall one of the nicest girls I have ever met in the circus business and that's saying something well here are the cages yeah it's kind of dark along here seems funny this early in the evening not having it all lit up for the show it does doesn't the jury almost like a ghost circus wonder where Jason could be that's strange I can't imagine it leaving a lot you what's that sounds like a good healthy snore to me do lion snore like that I never noticed before sounds a little too human to me oh here comes from this bailout hey Jason so that's why he didn't come to dinner don't wake him up Jerry you mean you think he slept right through I wouldn't be surprised poor man he's probably exhausted he was worried early this morning about street that panther of his and then with a cyclone and all he probably was all in come on Jerry we better let him sleep what's that who's there oh gee we didn't mean to wake you Jason was I asleep it were you asleep listen man you you should have heard yourself snore was it bad no just got your prize panther all worked up that's all for a streak he's been wild all day and did you sleep through dinner Jason no slate brought me a bite but I didn't want to leave streak he's mean today I'm not sure what's wrong no probably just the after effects of the cyclone probably but he's too valuable to risk so I thought I'd camp out here tonight just in case besides he gets the lines and such a leather I've got to quiet him down every now and then you know best Jason doesn't look like a very comfortable bed no say I'd sure like to sleep out here with you Jason any excuse for a change no but well I might be of some help if sure Jerry it's okay with me better bring along a blanket though this hay isn't too soft gee I'd love sleeping out here under the stars I'm not afraid that lines will keep you awake no of course not all right nothing I can do for you Jason sure things will be all right sure Mr. Randall oh say Jerry when you get your own blanket you might bring me one from my bunk course I'd be glad to oh say Jason I forgot what it's about patsy nothing's happened as it oh no of course not but she's leaving I said you and I'd take her down to the station leaving the circus what are you talking about no no Jason she's just going on to Harbour City she's got that inheritance business to attend to shoot me there when we open off that's different but what about taking her down to the station I'd sure like to but I think you'd better not leave your animal condition well it really would be better for me to stay here oh that's okay Jason I'll explain but I'll tell you what I'll take her down myself she's got to have a yeah and I'd better run along and tell her you've got to stick with your lion that's a shame and I'd like so much to take her to the train oh don't you worry about patsy she'll understand she's a grand trooper well yes I'd better get going okay Jerry hey don't forget about my blanket when you come back I want good night Mr. Randall night Jerry and take good care of our patsy he certainly is the whole Duggan family's mighty fine stock and is he proud to be escorting patsy all alone to the station yeah he's grown up fast getting to be quite a little gentle where have you been all evening I'm not so fast all good who do you think you are talking I know I know but I've been looking all over you since what I heard about patsy did you know she was leaving tonight what leaving but what are you saying Colgate that's he's going to hop a city tonight catching the night train but she's not leaving the show of course not but she's going on ahead to hop a city you see what that means Boris oh yes I do see what you mean the inheritance of course a fine attentive shooter you are first thing we'll know she'll have a fortune in her hands with a million suitors after I don't you worry Olga patsy and I are already what these Americans call show me what about Jason oh that lion tamer and don't you worry about him I give him a good run for his money for her money you mean you are a very shrewd woman Olga between you and me the Russo family should prosper yes we will have our circus and it will not be long all of our planning and saving has not been for nothing I'll tell you about that when is patsy leaving I found that out for you she's catching a train at 11 it is almost 10 30 oh I have so little time you must help me there is a large drugstore on the corner two blocks out yes I know those wooden buildings are all destroyed but that drugstore is left run over there telephone for a taxi and buy the biggest box of candy you can find in the store good that is right I will do it I must say Boris when you work you work fast with a fortunate stake of course I do I want that taxi at the front of the lot at 15 minutes of 11 sure understand yes of course they will be there good I will not forget you all good I hope not bodies I should like to go to Harper City with her but it would be perhaps too obvious yes you are right well I must hurry good luck thank you Olga I will run over to Patsy's wagon now I will probably catch her just before she leaves parking this time of night they're bored he's so excited Boris because we're gonna take Patsy to the station you are taking miss Patsy yeah why not that is very strange I have just arranged to take miss Patsy myself what certainly I have a taxi waiting on the corner now I bought miss Patsy some candy I thought it was quite understood oh all I would but I thought you certainly aren't going to make it uncomfortable are you by trying to intrude why of course not only well I thought she was expecting me and but you see she isn't there now it's all taken care of you long well at least you'll think it funny if I don't say goodbye really Jerry it's quite late now you'll only upset her in the layer I'm sure you wouldn't want to do that of course I wouldn't but well I had a message for from Jason no that's quite all right give it to me I see that she gets it well of course if you say so I'll be quick Jerry there's a wagon now and I don't want her to be rushed to the last minute well I guess you just better say Jason's having trouble with the lions and couldn't come but sends his best I'll tell her now run along boy run along run along tell her goodbye for me to yes yes of course I'll tell her but don't bother us now we'll see her in Harper city it's awful funny though for not telling us yeah I think there's something queer about all this but I don't see what we can do about it
