Minutes were left for the presentation, decided, Barnum left his house and take course to the building where everything would be done as the other days, wearing another hat to cover his face as much as possible, it was expected that someone would wait to insult him at the entrance so I would have to enter from the back.

Phillip had fulfilled as promised, everything is in place as the others were already in their "suits / uniforms" as they call them, questions from some were made to reach the trying to find out why he was there and even more because he was helping with nothing in return, people began to take a seat and Barnum showed no signs of arriving in time for the beginning, the other members set to work and looked in an old trunk where he kept some changing rooms.

- Needle

- Thread

- More fabric

It was what was heard on the part of some local women while sewing in a hurry what looked like a suit like Barnum's but instead of this jacket, it would be more like a sweater that would be buttoned to get more shape, Carlyle I looked at a close distance, it was fascinating to see how a team could do something much faster than a single person, knowledge of sewing, aesthetics and other things were present in the result of the quick work they gave it to Carlyle I would have to start with the absence of Barnum, which was more and more worrisome since he did not usually miss one despite being sick, but what they did not know was what happened in the afternoon.

- I'm not very good at these events, but I have no choice, right?

- Come on Carlyle, if you presented your work that day, you can with this.

Something fearful I accept the garment made by them and removed his jacket to wear that, it was not necessary a change of pants since he used to dress in a more formal, the center of the place was lit while the rest was dark and silent, Carlyle walked to the light of the center to take a discreet tour observing the public, as Phillip Carlyle, theater writer would present at that moment, it could not be in the most formal way he knows since the place did not mention it, he pulled it deep air and sigh.

- Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to P.T Barnum Circus And Family

Some members were already behind him which at the time of hearing the full name threw fire into the air lighting the others in the background while the lights were fully lit and the show began, everything was going well apparently, oh that's what he wanted think based on the presentation of the day it was.

Behind the stage and some members prepared to leave at any time while Carlyle looked from a considerable place to support at any time, a hand touched his shoulder which surprised him to think he was alone in that place, it was Barnum who looked at him with a smile and some scratches even in the face, Carlyle to know who was tranquilized, maybe he would say something but he was in charge that night, he could not be distracted by anything or even start a conversation with the owner, which would be disastrous in a accident that could be presented.

- I knew you would do well ..

- Ha, I do not serve for these things, I could not

- You should think about joining us, well, you can see a smile on your face while you were presenting, maybe it's nerves.

- You mean to leave everything behind, and flee to the circus? Believe me, it's not something you have in mind, without offending.

What had been feared by him was present, what was the network of acrobats seemed to be loose from a corner and Anne was the one who was on the line, the public did not notice it but the others were aware of despite being good at that, then she usually jumps into the net, which she did .., Carlyle ran as fast as she could while Anne fell from the rope to the net that would break with the slightest weight, people did not seem worried Since it was part of the show or what they wanted to think, Barnum instead was already with his brother at the bottom to catch her, he did not bring his clothes that he used to wear, so some people thought they were just another member, luckily all Carlyle was in the middle of all to help, Anne fell into the net which collapsed immediately, but to her fate Carlyle was there to catch her.

Already in his arms people applauded as if the show was over, Anne looked at Carlyle in a sweet way which was reciprocated by this, was love, love at first sight as described by some people, the lights went out and it was given finished that night, people began to retire while some members thanked his visit at the exit, the rest made sure to put a new network, Carlyle left Anne in the arms of his brother or that is what he wanted to think so cited some.

Barnum knew the feeling that both showed, happened for the same with Charity and a few years ago, but what could he do? They would take him for crazy if he commented something related to the attraction towards the youngest, the most correct thing was to remain silent and wait to the end of the day.

I must admit that I wanted and I want to make some chapters from the point of view of others, not everything in the story will be Barnum either (?

Also I wanted to warn that within a chapter more (why I do not want to put it) began what could be considered as filler for some and others an attempt to explain some members as they came with Barnum (I know that everything is seen in the auditions with the posters, but mostly show the ones that come out more or mention their names during the film) so that they have a background story since most of them are based on some people who once existed and participated in those shows (yes, the writer is informed of the theme xd) so if they have a favorite character of the members do not hesitate to say it to bring a second part of those stories later, at the moment there will only be 5 random members.

Not to mention that I've thought about putting everything into arcs (as in some series, but you see more in anime where they focus on a specific theme and develop it) in order to be able to explain more freely the different things that are thought (what what would be Phillip's childhood, what happened on the train that left us with more doubts to the fandom than anything, one of Mr. Hallet, etc.) not to mention that the number of chapters missing for the conclusion is still long, oh failing just make a book for these arcs (either individual or a compilation) which would be in doubt since I like to have everything in one to avoid the typical visit the next if you want to find out more, or that it was a school book with your Internet pages (?)

Well, I will stop occupying space here, hoping that the chapter has been to your liking (;-; although I am late in uploading them ...

By the way, have you seen the cover debut?
