Dunton swore under his breath.
“Merriwell, too, has a good expression,” declared the stage-manager. “That calm, confident smile is all right. I confess that I was afraid of this scene, but I rather think it will go off all right.”
Then the rehearsal went on to the end, Havener not allowing them to stop till it was time to go to the hotel for supper.
