I stopped and stared at him. “Have you totally lost it? What are you saying?” I cried.

“Let’s do a ventriloquist act for our next party Saturday night,” he replied. He heaved the bag to the curb. “We don’t need these dumb tricks, Jillian. Let’s work up a funny act with dummies.”

“Get serious,” I muttered. The rain spattered my head and shoulders. The heavy eye makeup ran into my eyes.

“I am serious,” Harrison insisted. “You can use Slappy. I’ll get another dummy. We’ll get a bunch of joke books and put together an act for them. It’ll be great. Better than Jimmy O’James! I mean, two dummies have to be funnier than one!”

The rain came down harder. I rubbed my eyes, trying to get the makeup out. The white makeup ran down over my clown ruffle. The wet costume stuck to my skin.

“How about it?” Harrison demanded. “A whole new act. What do you say?”

“Well … okay,” I agreed, rubbing my eyes. “At least we won’t need costumes and makeup for a ventriloquist act.” I ripped the wet ruffle off and stuffed it in the bag. “I never want to be a clown again!”
