Act 1 is ready for final PL.

What a delightful play, and everyone fitting their parts so well!

We just finished Annie Sit-By-The-Fire, and that also includes a plot with stolen love letters - but treated very differently by Barrie than by Maugham.

Thanks, Todd

Act 1 is PL OK! That was great, I am so impressed by how fluent it came out.

I wonder if Maugham himself ever made up his mind on old Lady Frederick was supposed to be. There are many contradictory indications.

Oh! Sorry, Todd - I should have worked that up for you.

I'm on it! Should have these proof-listened by the end of the weekend.

Aaand, all three acts have been PL'ed OK. I am in awe of all the readers, everyone did such a great job.

I believe it's a wrap!

A huge THANK YOU to Todd and sacapsie!

I'll start the next Maugham play from this source when my dramatics queue is whittled down.

You say that the Summary is to be edited? Presumably to not be a quote from Wikipediia. What would you like it to be?

(Uploading anyway - I can edit the summary later when in the catalog)

Thanks, Todd
