And of course if we have popcorn, we must have lemonade.

Popcorn is so choky." So the children had their refreshment, and then it was time to go to see the performance.
Pompton took Rosy Posy in his arms, and the others following, they went into the big tent and were ushered to their places.
Mr.Maynard had told Pompton to take a box, as in the small enclosure it was easier to keep an eye on the children, and make sure they did nothing they ought not to.

For the little Maynards were impulsive, and though Pompton was wise and sensible, he was not entirely accustomed to their mischievous ways.
"Isn't this fun!" exclaimed Marjorie, as the usher showed them the small wooden enclosure with six hard chairs in it.
"Perfectly splendid!" agreed Kitty.

"And we can have this extra chair for our wraps and things." So with great content they settled in their places to watch the circus.
It began, as circuses usually do, with the chariot races, and these were Marjorie's especial delight.

She had been to the circus several times, and she always enjoyed the classic-looking ladies who drove tumultuous horses, while they stood in gorgeously painted but very rattle-te-bang chariots.
"I should think they'd fall out behind," commented Kitty.
"They would if the horses stopped suddenly," said King.
"No, they wouldn't," said Marjorie.
