cept that we were making great progress in the first act, when the lights went out, (something that never happens at Wilson), Meg was just singing, The lights went out, and I was left in darkness.” After the play we gathered our belongings into our suit cases, and while one girl sat on the end, another snapped them shut. Then the company” dispersed to different homes, where they were to be entertained. But Mother Chirrup by mistake wore home Gyp’s shoes, and Gyp was left with—well— sure you’d be after laughing if I told you who’s shoes.” Just as the first grey of dawn appeared, the household where Gyp stayed was awakened by an awful scream.
