ten o'clock
The management are fortunate in securing so good a substitute for Bob Hazleton . '' Bert 's face showed his gratification . It almost seemed a dream to him that he had really appeared on the stage , and he was glad that he had given satisfaction . At ten o'clock he reported at the stage entrance , where he was met by Mr. Pearson , who was associate manager . He went through a rehearsal which enabled him to look forward with more confidence to a repetition of the part . The afternoon he had to himself , and a part of this he spent in trying to find out what he could about Ralph Harding . He learned that Harding had been employed in the shoe factory of Benedict & Co. .
