Come
on
,
chaps
,
who
'll
take
a
glove
?
"
the
spruiker
was
braying
.
"
Who
wants
to
have
a
go
?
Take
a
glove
,
win
a
fiver
!
"
he
kept
yelling
between
the
booms
of
a
bass
drum
.
"
I
will
!
"
Frank
shouted
.
"
I
will
,
I
will
!
"
He
shook
off
Father
Ralph
's
restraining
hand
as
those
around
them
in
the
throng
who
could
see
Frank
's
diminutive
size
began
to
laugh
and
good-naturedly
push
him
to
the
front
.
But
the
spruiker
was
very
serious
as
one
of
the
troupe
extended
a
friendly
hand
and
pulled
Frank
up
the
ladder
to
stand
at
one
side
of
the
eight
already
on
the
bridge
.
"
Do
n't
laugh
,
gents
.
He
's
not
very
big
but
he
is
the
first
to
volunteer
!
It
is
n't
the
size
of
the
dog
in
the
fight
,
you
know
,
it
's
the
size
of
the
fight
in
the
dog
!
Come
on
now
,
here
's
this
little
bloke
game
to
try
--
what
about
some
of
you
big
blokes
,
eh
?
Put
on
a
glove
and
win
a
fiver
,
go
the
distance
with
one
of
Jimmy
Sharman
's
troupe
!
"
Gradually
the
ranks
of
the
volunteers
increased
,
the
young
men
self-consciously
clutching
their
hats
and
eyeing
the
professionals
who
stood
,
a
band
of
elite
beings
,
alongside
them
.
Dying
to
stay
and
see
what
happened
,
Father
Ralph
reluctantly
decided
it
was
more
than
time
he
removed
Meggie
from
the
vicinity
,
so
he
picked
her
up
and
turned
on
his
heel
to
leave
.
Meggie
began
to
scream
,
and
the
farther
away
he
got
,
the
louder
she
screamed
;
people
were
beginning
to
look
at
them
,
and
he
was
so
well
known
it
was
very
embarrassing
,
not
to
mention
undignified
.
"
Now
look
,
Meggie
,
I
ca
n't
take
you
in
there
!
Your
father
would
flay
me
alive
,
and
rightly
!
"
"
I
want
to
stay
with
Frank
,
I
want
to
stay
with
Frank
!
"
she
howled
at
the
top
of
her
voice
,
kicking
and
trying
to
bite
.
"
Oh
,
shit
!
"
said
Father
Ralph
.
Yielding
to
the
inevitable
,
he
dug
into
his
pocket
for
the
required
coins
and
approached
the
open
flap
of
the
marquee
,
one
eye
cocked
for
any
of
the
Cleary
boys
;
but
they
were
nowhere
to
be
seen
,
so
he
presumed
they
were
safely
trying
their
luck
with
the
horseshoes
or
gorging
themselves
on
meat
pies
and
ice
cream
.
"
You
ca
n't
take
her
in
there
,
Father
!
"
the
foreman
said
,
shocked
.
