I accept your package deal for the Officers and will include Soldier chorus in Act 1 (in addition to actual Officer line at very end), Cavalier's something in Act 2 when I find it, and the Act 3 Officer lines.

Thanks, Todd

Okay - Great!

No. I would be thrilled if you would like to do so.

Be glad to!

Question: Do you want Spanish pronunciations? I'm thinking particularly of Don -- Spanish long "o" as in "home," or short "o" as in "long?" Any other considerations?

Oh, and I'm glad there is a glossary of stage direction abbreviations, which are a bit different for this stage.

Yes. I'd like the Spanish pronunciations, please.

And yes, it's nice that this version has a glossary of those pesky, eccentric Victorian stage directions to clear up any ambiguity.

I can't think of any other unusual features of this script, but if you see something you have questions about, don't hesitate to ask!

Hello Adrian,
So good to hear your voice again!
PL Okay for Don Jose, Act 1.
In Act 2 at :13 please change "Yes: you know how she..." to "Yes: how well she..."
Act 2 at :26 please omit the first "her" in "...the one for which {her} nature intended her."
Act 2 at 8:57 remove the repetition of the phrase "fire upon him."

Act 3 at the very end, please add one more line after "Hush!" It is, "Your husband, madam."

Thanks,
Lora
