"What did you think of it, Rupert?" asked Leslie proudly, as he joined his fellow bell-boy in the street.
"I give you credit for getting out of a tight place so neatly."
"I was too much for the butcher boy, eh, Rupert?"
"You certainly were," said Rupert, laughing. "I hope Ida will forgive him."
"I think she will after a while, as long as he didn't spoil the play. The audience were very enthusiastic."
"Yes, more so probably on account of Otto's ill-timed interruption."
"So I think. It was a splendid ovation. Oh, Rupert, it was delicious. It was, as I said, the proudest moment of my life. I wonder if there will he anything in the papers about it."
"I think it quite likely."
"You didn't see anything of Daly or Palmer in the hall, did you?"
"I don't know the gentlemen by sight."
