Charlotte. Where are all the girls? We ought to begin our rehearsal.
Victoria. There's Madge Fuller now. She has that sweet-looking young lady who played so beautifully with her.
[Enter Madge Fuller and Miss Sommerfield.]
Madge. Halloa, girls! Am I late? I was reading, and I almost forgot our rehearsal. But I have brought a new recruit. Miss Sommerfield, girls. Miss Howard, Miss Mason, Miss Moore, Miss Brandon, and Miss Everton.
Grace. Otherwise Charlotte, Victoria or Vic, Ida, Olive, and myself, Grace. No airs, Madge.
Olive. We are so glad you asked Miss Sommerfield to help us, Madge dear.
Miss Sommerfield. I will help, but don't let me intrude. What are your ideas of an entertainment?
Grace. Ideas are just what we are after. The only settled thing is that the tickets are to be fifty cents.
Charlotte. We thought we would each recite or read something. Original preferred. The object is the Sea-side Home.
Miss Sommerfield. It is a lovely object. I went all over the one on Seney Island.
