I'll have to work frightfully hard, for there will be a matinee every day as well as a regular performance every night, and I'll have a new part to study each week.

But the salary will more than compensate me for my work.

You know that Mary did dress-making and worked night and day to send me to high school.

Of course, my five dollars a week from Mrs.Gray helped a great deal, but up to the time Mr.Southard sent for me to go to New York City to play Rosalind I didn't really think of college as at all certain.

Before I left New York for Oakdale, Mr.and Miss Southard and I had a long talk.
