(Even though Miss Hart was in this scene, in my story she's not. I also added George and Effie)
The gang had heard 3 days prior about the carnival, and decided to make a day out of it and take Susannah.
As the gang walk down the street to the carnival, William said, "sir, I am surprised, you wanted to come"
"Why, Murdoch?"
"Last time there was a carnival, you said it was a waste of time."
"People can change their mind"
As they walked closer, to the carnival, Julia spots a pony ride, and Susannah pointing to a pony.
"I think, she wants to ride a pony, William" Julia said
"What if she falls?" William asked with concern
"One of us will be beside her. I'm sure they will allow it."
They got her on a pony, as Julia held onto her, while William took photographs, "Susannah, look at daddy, smile"
After the pony ride, they went to the swing ride, while Thomas, George and Effie got cotton candy and hot dogs, with lemonade.
With the swing ride, Susannah was able to on by herself, and she absolutely loved it.
After the ride, she said, "hungy"
The gang found an area to sit, and gave Susannah a taste of cotton candy, which she loved and wanted more, as William said, "not yet, sweetheart. Let's try a hot dog."
Thomas laughed, "reminds me of my boys. Always wanted the candy first before a hot dog"
Julia giggled as she broke up hot dog, in little pieces, so it would be easier to eat, and handed Susannah a piece of the meat, "here, darling"
Even though Susannah ate it all, she said, "gross."
"So, I guess, a hot dog, won't become a favorite of hers." Thomas said
"Would, she like popcorn?" George asked
Effie smacked him, "she's too young, she could choke."
"Cot candy" Susannah said
"Alright, you ate all your hot dog" as he picks a piece off the candy, and opens her mouth, "mmm" she says
Julia takes a piece and eats some, "mmm, forgot how good cotton candy tasted"
"When was the last time you had it?" William asked as he eats a piece, and makes a face, "it's too sweet"
"I haven't had it, since I was 9 or 10 maybe."
"10?!" George and Effie gasp
"Last time I had it, was when my mother, took Ruby and I took us to a circus."
"Before she passed?" William asked
"Mmm. Reminded too much of her"
"Understanding" Effie said
As they finished the cotton candy, they continued walking around the carnival, and saw another ride, that Susannah would be able to go on, which was a kids jungle gym.
"Want to give it a try?" William asked
Susannah nodded as William took her on the ride. As she went into a tunnel, across a wooden bridge, and down a slide, "wee" she squealed and said "again"
William gave the attendant, another nickel as she did the jungle gym one more time.
"Again!"
"No, sweetheart, that's all for today." As he lifts her up, as she starts to cry, kick and scream, "alright, I know." He responded with such patience, as a woman, said "she deserves a spanking" William just stared at the woman
While Julia spoke up, "there is one evidence, that spanking does any good for a child." As she gave her a look
"Julia, let's go" as he pulls her away
"That woman!" Julia said
"Don't let her ruin our day"
They spend another hour at the carnival, playing games and trying some homemade apple sauce, which Susannah loved, before heading home.
