In Indian Mexico (1908)

CHAPTER IX
26/35

Our play, however, turned out to have had but eight acts, and one of these was omitted.

When it should have been given, the whole troupe appeared upon the platform; the manager announced the reason why the act would not be given, but promised that on the following Sunday, in another play, an extra act should be inserted, in order that all might receive the full value of their money.

Our play ended at one, when the audience dispersed.
Needing but two more subjects, we looked about Chilchota the next day, hoping to find indians from the more remote villages, who might permit their busts to be made.

Two excellent cases were found.

The last was a man from Carapan, the most remote of the eleven towns.
