A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Sit closer, you lot, the wet's coming in off the sea and I'll not shout over it. Forty years I walked behind the Mardling Brothers' wagons, and the one thing they never let me forget was the cricket. He was painted on the door of the Number Three caravan, hat tipped, red umbrella up, a little yellow fellow who'd stood guard over every ring in the south of England. Old Tobias Mardling said a cricket on a caravan door keeps the show honest, because he watches what you do when nobody's looking.

The last season, the big top was patched more than it was canvas. Nobody paid to see the lions any more, and the tent dripped over the trapeze like a colander. Tobias sold the elephants in March. He stopped paying the band in May. One night in Weymouth, with the rain coming sideways off the harbour, he climbed the ladder to the wagon roof and sat there with his umbrella, pretending he could hold the weather off the whole valley single-handed.

I went up after him with two cups of tea gone cold. 'Tobias,' I said, 'the cricket's still on the door.' He laughed, the first laugh I'd had out of him all winter. 'Then he can earn his keep,' he said, and handed me the umbrella. We stood under it together until the cloud thinned over the pier, and the rain simply ran off down the gutters.

Next morning he sold the wagon to a scrapyard man for the price of a new rope. I kept the door. It hangs in my hallway now, the paint gone soft at the edges, and the little cricket still has his hat tipped and his umbrella open, looking out at the weather as if it might yet have the decency to stop.
