A few weeks later while en route, Pierro is visited by a wealthy couple, who desire to adopt Marjorie. Pierro finally consents to part with Marjorie, and the little girl goes to live with her foster father and mother, for whom she evinces but little love. A dreary year passes by for the little girl. With her lessons, which make each day almost endless, she wanes in body and spirit until Mr. Herbert one day brings home a doll dressed to resemble a polka-dotted circus clown, the only toy which has pleased her. The next day Marjorie, playing in the nursery, hears the blare of a brass band in the distance and a moment later the gaily floating banners and gilded wagons of the circus file past the window. Watching for her chance, Marjorie starts out of the house in pursuit of the circus. She is not long gone when she is missed by the nurse, who searches in vain for her. Mr. Herbert then resolves to visit the circus with the possibility of Marjorie having gone there. Arriving at the circus grounds, he inquires his way to Pierro's dressing room, and upon entering finds Marjorie in the clown's arms. In spite of Mr. Herbert's protests, Marjorie refuses to go back to her wealthy home, and Herbert leaves in despair. Pierro and Marjorie left alone are visited by other circus people, who give a rousing cheer for the return of the clown's baby. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
