Summary
NoS Summary - At home with Madge Saunders and Leslie Henson.
British Pathe synopsis: Madge Saunders looks from a window wondering where Leslie Henson has got to. She spots him sitting in the garden drinking what is probably an alcoholic drink. He is sitting in a deck chair and reading a script. Madge comes into the garden. Leslie is laughing out loud at what he is reading. Intertitle reads: "Never mind your new play, Leslie - you must show the visitors our goat farm". Madge pulls him from his deck chair. C/U of Leslie putting something into his glass of whiskey. Madge and Leslie feed a baby goat - a kid - with some straw. Leslie brings a bucket and splashes water on the kid. They have a game of tennis but we only see Madge play. Tea is served by maids on the patio of a house. An Intertitle reads; "It even tempted our cameraman from his camera." but we do not see the cameraman take tea. Incomplete.
