[Grace Harlowe’s Fourth Year at Overton College by Jessie Graham Flower]@TWC D-Link bookGrace Harlowe’s Fourth Year at Overton College CHAPTER XXII 17/19
Ruth Denton, Gertrude Wells, and Miriam Nesbit, respectively, enacted the roles of Honor, Forbearance and Silence, while Elfreda insisted on playing Good Humor, and was greeted with appreciative laughter whenever she appeared. The play was written in blank verse, and many of the passages were extremely beautiful.
Loyalheart's farewell to Haven Home and the revelation of the Spirit to Loyalheart at the Highway of Life were particularly worthy of note.
The speeches of Good Humor scintillated with wit, and the unpleasant characters in the play were peculiarly true to life.
Grace took half a dozen curtain calls, and Kathleen West was also summoned before the curtain and publicly presented with the honor pin by President Morton. It was an evening long to be remembered, and the story of Loyalheart and her pilgrimage was destined to remain in the minds of the Overton girls for many a day. It was after eleven o 'clock when a very tired Loyalheart went forth on a pilgrimage to Wayne Hall, accompanied by her equally loyal supporters, who were proudly bearing numerous floral offerings which had been handed to Grace over the footlights. "I am so tired," she sighed, "but so happy.
It was a beautiful play, wasn't it ?" "And you were the nicest part of it," said Anne fondly.
