Mr Laurie was Professor Owlsdark in cap and gown; and, after a high-flown introduction, he proceeded to exhibit and explain his marbles.
Now we can venture to begin our great American drama, answered Mrs Jo, full of satisfaction and grand ideas for the famous play which, we may add, she did not write that year, owing to various dramatic events in her own family. The Owlsdark Marbles closed the entertainment, and, being something new, proved amusing to this very indulgent audience.
Then, with a ridiculous conclusion, the Professor bowed his thanks; and after several recalls the curtain fell, but not quickly enough to conceal Mercury, wildly waving his liberated legs, Hebe dropping her teapot, Bacchus taking a lovely roll on his barrel, and Mrs Juno rapping the impertinent Owlsdark on the head with Jove's ruler.
'This might be called "Mercury Trying to Fly", said Mr Laurie, as they peeped through the lace curtains. 'Bless the long legs of that boy! how does he expect to manage them? They are planning for the Owlsdark Marbles, and a nice muddle they will make of my gods and goddesses with no one to show them how, answered Mrs Jo, enjoying this scene immensely.
