Dear Tom, the wheel jammed again at ten past nine with the Halloran twins stuck at the very top, so I spent an hour on the ladder with a torch in my teeth and the spanner you swore you'd returned. Mother says I'm to stop climbing things before the Fair Committee takes away my pass, but she's the one who taught me to whistle at the gulls, so I don't see what she expects.

The tokens are still in the tin box under the ticket booth. Dad made them the summer the wheel first turned, five discs of pressed tin, each stamped with a flame, a hand, a pair of scales, an eye or a tree. You pick one at the gate and it decides which car you ride in. The Committee swears it's only for balance, but the children argue over the stamps as if they're choosing sides in a war. Ada Lind has wanted the eye since she was seven. Last Saturday she gave me her whole week's pocket money for a flame and then cried when she got the tree.

I went round the cars tonight and found the flame token in the gutter by car eleven, bent flat, so I've kept it. I'm sending it with this letter. Hold it up to the light from the lake and you'll see the birds Dad scratched into the back, which he never told anyone about. Come home for the end of August. The wheel stops for good on the first, and I'd like you to be the one who pulls the brake.
