Oh apologies! I’ve made you work very hard, Mrs. Sago—so what’s a little more poking and prodding! :thumbs: I’ll get on it ASAP! :D

just one tiny bit more....

> at 4:35: (p. 257) "With all my heart, Mr. Sago" - you say "Mrs" but this time she talks to the husband about her

thanks

:lol: wonderfully portrayed, oh my, he is such a doting muggins for his wife, the poor man. I now think I needn't have wept quite as much, I would have gotten him back with even less effort :mrgreen: This will be some hilarious scenes once stitched together. 8-)

Just a few small notes for your consideration:

Act 2:

> at 4:30: (p. 225) "you'll buss poor Puddy now" - here you say "poodd" like in "pudding", later in Act 5 you say "pud" like in "pudgy". As I also say "pud" (like pudgy) as Mrs Sago, maybe we could both stay consistent with that version

> at 4:38: (p. 226) "you'll go home with Puddy now" - also here


Act 5:

> at about 5:35: (p. 256) missed line: "I wish your ladyship Joy, and hope I shall keep my Keecky to myself now."

thanks

Finishing up Pinero, I was thinking about stage directions here, but Sir Richard Plainman is too good of a role to pass up. Could I play him?

I vacillated between lovely and firebrand, but may I read the hearty captain?
