Prologue of a tale of a Virginia youth and a traveling show
David Jenison, a Virginian, befriends a hunchback and a bold roving acrobat named Dick Cronk. Amid a tense show lot, street brawls, and looming danger, David witnesses hard realities of carnival life and the weight of loyalty, money, and identity as he navigates a widening world with Braddock and Cronk. The narrative blends romance, peril, and streetwise camaraderie in a late chapter of the unfolding drama.
