Good friends Mr. Rudyard and Mrs. Kipling and their young friend, plus Captain Francis Solomon and music hall artiste Miss. Emmeline De' Stacie, joined Reverend and Mrs. Michaels and close company friends at the theatre in the heart of the lace country. Mrs. Petrie and Miss. Wadsworth were in good health, as was Dr. Staunton. Lord Brocket complained once more that the muse was not upon him having suffered troubled sleep and finding it impossible to write.

The Cala Rosa Troop entertained members of the Company with a rousing manly piratical chorus, cowardly stern faced Peelers, the very pattern of whiskered Major Generals and a bevy of giggling enchanting damsels in Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Sullivan's fine comic opera, The Pirates of Penzants.

The Company adjourned to enjoy a sumptuous and plentiful Raj platter and to discuss pleasantries and the sad news regarding Lord Buffington.

Company and Friends seen above: Rev. J. Micheal, Mrs. Emerald Micheals, Dr. A. Staunton, Miss. Emmeline De' Stacie, Sir. Rudyard Kipling, Captain Francis Soloman, Miss. Emily Wadsworth and Lord Arthur Brocket.
