almost 2 a.m. but I was hooked (and tomorrow is Sunday anyway...well today actually)

Act 2 is such a hoot

Brilliant dialogues, totally funny and you all do your roles perfectly

I would say this is PL ok, unless you might consider this small edit Todd:

> at 16:49: "Mr. Queckett is Miss Dyott's....Be quiet": the pause is too long here, doesn't make sense Peggy would not finish the sentence unless Queckett really cuts her off

Other than that, all fine. The mixing of voices is really creating mayhem

Well done, yet again. Now looking forward to Act 3.

Good catch on the gap at 16:49. I fixed that. New file uploaded for spot check.

Thanks, Todd

ex-cel-lent ending

this was really wow ! There was nobody out of character at any point and I enjoyed every minute of it, but I especially loved the dialogues Queckett/Rankling - Queckett/Miss Dyott - Rankling/Mrs Rankling. We all had a good chemistry going here.

I think we can mark this PL ok.

There was only one point:

> at 36:08: [covering his face with his handkerchief] should come after Rankling's speech (you put it before), but maybe it doesn't matter, it's also ok this way, I find.

So PL ok and The Schoolmistress is open for general public

We achieved something great here. Special thanks to Todd for suggesting it and putting it all together, even under extreme pain. Without you, LV would not have so many great plays.

I purposely put that direction before Rankling's speech. I had removed the stage direction that said he spoke emotionally (since he did that in the audio), and I thought that the idea of hiding his face behind the handkerchief went well to convey that while he was feeling emotion, he could not look Mrs Rankling in the eye and confess it but rather just say that he could not find even a necktie without her help. I can change it if you wish.

Thanks, Todd
