The Old Clown can still give them a tune on his squeezebox and even a quick dance when the mood takes him?
The long hall where schoolchildren assemble for all events like the Go Happiness visit, has a very low ceiling and it's a very long room so the sound bounces off the walls like it's an echo chamber. Imagine the sound of 30 children and a big fat Clown playing silly instruments, bells and whistles during the final parts of the show? It's a good thing Eckie's assistant gives all the children ear protectors to help them enjoy the experience without damaging their ears...
