Earl brought me to meet Uncle Al. He didn't want me at first. I told him I wanted to work with the animals. He asked if I wanted to carry water for the elephants. When he and August, the husband of the girl in the menagerie, discovered I was a semi-veterinarian, they decided to keep me... at least for awhile.
I am bunking with a dwarf clown, Kinko, and his dog, Queenie. They live in the train car with Marlena's horses. Kinko doesn't seem to want me around:
"A menagerie man? Forget it. I'm a performer. There's no way I'm bunking with a working man."
