start off on the postponed motor trip which
is going to begin his long vacation now that

If it's a good one the manager is willing to
get a play out of it himself. Then there is
the greatest importance in the way a char-

Ine couched in the wrong language. the use
of the incorrect words in stating a. fact or
a feeling, that may ruin the following. ten
minutes of a play. Then the scene is spoiled
