A
woman
wearing
the
same
kind
of
clothes
as
people
in
other
houses
wear
,
told
us
to
go
up
to
the
second
floor
,
and
she
grinned
at
David
,
as
if
she
had
heard
about
him
;
so
up
we
went
,
David
muttering
through
his
clenched
teeth
,
"
I
sha
'n'
t
laugh
,
"
and
as
soon
as
we
knocked
a
voice
called
out
,
"
Here
we
are
again
!
"
at
which
a
shudder
passed
through
David
as
if
he
feared
that
he
had
set
himself
an
impossible
task
.
In
we
went
,
however
,
and
though
the
voice
had
certainly
come
from
this
room
we
found
nobody
there
.
I
looked
in
bewilderment
at
David
,
and
he
quickly
put
his
hand
over
his
mouth
.
It
was
a
funny
room
,
of
course
,
but
not
so
funny
as
you
might
expect
;
there
were
droll
things
in
it
,
but
they
did
nothing
funny
,
you
could
see
that
they
were
just
waiting
for
Joey
.
There
were
padded
chairs
with
friendly
looking
rents
down
the
middle
of
them
,
and
a
table
and
a
horse-hair
sofa
,
and
we
sat
down
very
cautiously
on
the
sofa
but
nothing
happened
to
us
.
The
biggest
piece
of
furniture
was
an
enormous
wicker
trunk
,
with
a
very
lively
coloured
stocking
dangling
out
at
a
hole
in
it
,
and
a
notice
on
the
top
that
Joey
was
the
funniest
man
on
earth
.
David
tried
to
pull
the
stocking
out
of
the
hole
,
but
it
was
so
long
that
it
never
came
to
an
end
,
and
when
it
measured
six
times
the
length
of
the
room
he
had
to
cover
his
mouth
again
.
"
I
'm
not
laughing
,
"
he
said
to
me
,
quite
fiercely
.
He
even
managed
not
to
laugh
(
though
he
did
gulp
)
when
we
discovered
on
the
mantelpiece
a
photograph
of
Joey
in
ordinary
clothes
,
the
garments
he
wore
before
he
became
a
clown
.
You
ca
n't
think
how
absurd
he
looked
in
them
.
But
David
did
n't
laugh
.
Suddenly
Joey
was
standing
beside
us
,
it
could
not
have
been
more
sudden
though
he
had
come
from
beneath
the
table
,
and
he
was
wearing
his
pantomime
clothes
(
which
he
told
us
afterward
were
the
only
clothes
he
had
)
and
his
red
and
white
face
was
so
funny
that
David
made
gurgling
sounds
,
which
were
his
laugh
trying
to
force
a
passage
.
I
introduced
David
,
who
offered
his
hand
stiffly
,
but
Joey
,
instead
of
taking
it
,
put
out
his
tongue
and
waggled
it
,
and
this
was
so
droll
that
David
had
again
to
save
himself
by
clapping
his
hand
over
his
mouth
.
Joey
thought
he
had
toothache
,
so
I
explained
what
it
really
meant
,
and
then
Joey
said
,
"
Oh
,
I
shall
soon
make
him
laugh
,
"
whereupon
the
following
conversation
took
place
between
them
:
"
No
,
you
sha
'n'
t
,
"
said
David
doggedly
.
"
Yes
,
I
shall
.
"
"
No
,
you
sha
'n'
t
not
.
"
