The Takings From the Booth
Carpa Aurora, half an hour after the last show. The takings from Sunday's three performances were sleeping in the strongbox in the ticket booth, waiting for the bank van at dawn. When the administrator went to seal it, the box was open and empty. The booth stands alone in the middle of the show ground: to reach it you have to cross open earth in full view of the big top.
