A Mother's Wish
“Her days were filled from the moment she awakened in the morning until late at night when she curled up on the bunk with Georgie in her arms. Each morning she helped Leah set up her stall while Georgie played with the children under Jessie’s strict eye. Then it was time to practise the act with Arnoldo, but first Effie made sure that the interior of his caravan was clean and tidy. Having brought Arnoldo’s home up to a reasonable standard of cleanliness it was just a matter of tidying up after h...im each day, and Effie found herself slipping into the role of confidante.
Arnoldo, it seemed, had fallen madly in love with Ethel, the bareback rider, but Elmo was fiercely protective of his sister, and did not consider the strong man to be good enough for her. Effie had tried several times to talk to the elusive Ethel, but she was shy and seemed to be very much under the influence of her brother, although he did occasionally allow her to assist Dr Destiny to peddle his pills and potions. Ethel was also called upon to help Jed when the occasion arose, and this was usually to calm a nervous patient or to spirit them away and help staunch the blood if the afflicted gums continued to haemorrhage.MoreLess
