well I had a bit more time, so I started on Act 2 after all. The out-of-tune humming is brilliant

I love it especially when he is gruffer talking, so I am looking forward to your rants in Act 3.

I only found one missing line:

> at about 2:38: (Suddenly discovering tea in hat, puts cup on table and lifts up hat.) My hat, my hat!

Thanks !

wonderful !!! I loved the rants in the later half of the act

Poor Spettigue, he really had all his hopes crushed. And he almost sounded sincerely romantic during his wooing scene.

You did an absolutely great job, Foon. I am excited to hear this all assembled together.

There's only one thing that could be cut out:

> at 1:00: "What's he looking at me like that for, like a boiled owl?" - I think this is still Lord Fancourt speaking about Spettigue. The script is a bit unclear in parts but Spettigue surely wouldn't speak like that to Jack

Now I need to go and check whether Tomas included that line

yes, as I feared, that part was missed for Tomas' file:

Tomas could you please insert in your Act 3 the following:

> at about 4:38: "What's he looking at me like that for, like a boiled owl?"

Thanks !

brilliant, Larry, I loved your very stern voice in that one sentence Also the hilarious harumphing you're giving us before you start your charm-assault on fake Donna Lucia

Everything in now and correct ! Both Acts PL ok. And big thanks for the new time-stamps

Am I still missing something for the Colonel in Act I? I think this note was for that, but I see it still listed in the MW as just assigned.

no Act 1 was PL ok, Larry. The one section that is still missing is Act 3. Or did you post this and I missed the link ?

I just checked back through the entire thread and only found mention of Act III here:

viewtopic.php?p=1478011#p1478011

You said you would work on it, but you never posted it. If you hand it in before Sunday I can still PL it before I leave.

Oh, dear! I was so sure I had all of these in.

I have it in my uploaded file, but maybe I had better check it before I upload it, just to be sure, it is ready to go, and upload it again if necessary.
I'll have some more for you this morning.

silverquill · Post by **silverquill** » July 26th, 2018, 7:37 am

Oh, boy. Well, I held this back because I had missed the opening line in Act III. So, I've added that and think I have them all. At least this was the short Act

yay, the happy finale for Lucia and Frank

The colonel hasn't lost his charm till the end ! Well done Larry.

I am hesitating at one sentence:

> at 2:16: "Well, she's a quaint little figure, I must own I" - I think originally this would have been one of the many instances in the play where an exclamation mark "!" was turned into a superfluous "I". But trailing off like you did sounds very well too, so I guess this is totally PL ok.

Thank you !!!!!

And this means we have ALL the players in and Todd can assemble at will

Now I hope you don't find too many sentences that I missed, Todd.

It was quite a challenging script for all of us.
