Thanks, Todd

No, not a double entendre. More of a halfwitticism.

Cheers,

wohoooo, an excellent performance throughout all the acts, Chris. Now Maskwell is devious, especially in the final act. A pity he vanished all of a sudden

he could have had a come-uppance in the final scene.

It was a big role and you played it wonderfully, thank you so much. So looking forward to hearing all this assembled.

All three acts PL ok.

this guy loves to hear himself talk. You play the coxcomb very well, Mike

it was highly entertaining to listen to this collection of silliness

I have only one small question:

> at 1:23: "oh mon coeur" - this means "oh my heart" in French... I am not sure if you want pronunciation hints and usually it doesn't matter so much, but I want to warn you that the way you said this, what I hear is "oh mon cul", which is a very rough and rude expression, since it means "oh my arse"

it's probably very fitting for a bawdy comedy and something Brisk might say, but I wanted to know whether that was really your intention

thanks

I see that there is another witless ninny for me to play, to wit: Mellefont, promised to, and in love with Cynthia.
I volunteer.
