He had planned to put in the time strolling about town , when Professor Rigoletto appeared . He was accompanied by a friend . The latter ascertained the express charges on the trunk , paid them , and handed both Bart and Pope a free ticket to the evening 's entertainment . Bart took a stroll by himself , got his supper at a neat little restaurant , and met Pope as agreed at the door of the main show tent at seven o'clock . They were given good seats , and they had the pleasure of seeing Professor Rigoletto and his big snake under more agreeable conditions than those of their first introduction to them . The show was a very good one , and at half-past ten they left the tent . The Cardysville express agent accompanied Bart to the depot , where the east bound train was due to arrive in thirty minutes .
