Ben spoke very decidedly ; and , taking Billy 's arm , away they went , leaving poor Bab and Sanch to watch them out of sight , one sobbing , the other whining dismally . Somehow those two figures seemed to go before Ben all along the pleasant road , and half spoilt his fun ; for though he laughed and talked , cut canes , and seemed as merry as a grig , he could not help feeling that he ought to have asked leave to go , and been kinder to Bab . `` Perhaps Mrs. Moss would have planned somehow so we could all go , if I 'd told her , I 'd like to show her round , and she 's been real good to me . No use now . I 'll take the girls a lot of candy and make it all right . '' He tried to settle it in that way and trudged gayly off , hoping Sancho would n't feel hurt at being left , wondering if any of `` Smithers 's lot '' would be round , and planning to do the honors handsomely to the boys . It was very warm ; and just outside of the town they paused by a wayside watering-trough to wash their dusty faces , and cool off before plunging into the excitements of the afternoon . As they stood refreshing themselves , a baker 's cart came jingling by ; and Sam proposed a hasty lunch while they rested . A supply of gingerbread was soon bought ; and , climbing the green bank above , they lay on the grass under a wild cherry-tree , munching luxuriously , while they feasted their eyes at the same time on the splendors awaiting them ; for the great tent , with all its flags flying , was visible from the hill . `` We 'll cut across those fields , -- it 's shorter than going by the road , -- and then we can look round outside till it 's time to go in . I want to have a good go at every thing , especially the lions , '' said Sam , beginning on his last cookie . `` I heard 'em roar just now ; '' and Billy stood up to gaze with big eyes at the flapping canvas which hid the king of beasts from his longing sight . `` That was a cow mooing . Do n't you be a donkey , Bill . When you hear a real roar , you 'll shake in your boots , '' said Ben , holding up his handkerchief to dry , after it had done double duty as towel and napkin . `` I wish you 'd hurry up , Sam . Folks are going in now . I see 'em ! '' and Billy pranced with impatience ; for this was his first circus , and he firmly believed that he was going to behold all that the pictures promised . `` Hold on a minute , while I get one more drink .
Buns are dry fodder , '' XXXXX Sam , rolling over to the edge of the bank and preparing to descend with as little trouble as possible .
