Dear Nell, the fair pulled into Harrowgate on Tuesday and the wind has been trying to take the big top ever since. Mr Ansel Price came up from Wakefield with his brushes and a tin of black enamel to paint the names on the Ferris cars. Father says he is the best sign-writer on the circuit, and that he is cheap because he never talks.

He works in one go, never lifting the brush. I watched him paint the word LOVE across the side of the dodgems, the letters running into each other as if they had been poured. Then he drew a heart round it without once taking the brush off the board. I asked him how he managed. He said you only get one unbroken line if you decide where it ends before you begin, and most people never decide.
Lily Fenn, who sells candyfloss, says he is sweet on Marigold from the hoopla stall and has been for three seasons. Marigold says she barely knows him. But on Friday night she went round the back of the caravans and found him sitting on an upturned crate, and the heart was still wet on the board. Nobody has told me how that ended.
Last night he tapped the varnish with one knuckle and said, 'Finished the word, not the line.' Then he packed his brushes and was gone before the lamps were lit. Write back soon, and tell Mum the cat can come indoors now. Your loving sister, Win.
