After dinner, a pleasant hour of conversation followed, and later on the visitors were introduced to the various members of the company.

Unlike many professionals who have achieved greatness, Mr.
Southard was thoroughly democratic, and displayed none of the snobbish tactics with his company which so often humiliate and embitter the lesser lights of a theatrical company.
At eight o'clock they said good-bye to the actor.

Through the courtesy of Mr.Forest they were to witness a play in which a wonderful little girl of fifteen who had taken New York by storm was to appear.

After the play they were to pick up Mr.Southard at his theatre and go home together.

That night another jolly little supper was held in the Southards' dining room, then three sleepy young women fairly tumbled into their beds, completely tired out by their eventful day.
As the return to Overton was to be made on the noon train, the Southard household rose in good season on Sunday morning.
