    The Visitation

    Miss Seymour is the headmistress of a boarding school for the daughters of gentlemen. She has strong ideas about discipline and ladylike behaviour and her teaching methods are Victorian to say the least. During a rehearsal for a school play one of the girls falls off the stage and dislocates her shoulder. Dr. Finlay is sent for, and though he is greatly liked by the girls Miss Seymour has doubts about his influence on them.
