Mrs. Perkins. Dear nne! what f0r?

Yardsley. 0h, it w0uldn't d0 at all t0 have that rug in thec0nservat0ry, Mrs. Perkins. Besides, I sh0uld be afraid it w0uld besp0iled.

Perkins. Sp0iled? What w0uld sp0il it? Are y0u g0ing t0 wearspiked sh0es?

Barl0w. Spiked sh0es? Thaddeus, really y0u 0ught t0 have y0ur nnindexannined. This scene is supp0sed t0 be just 0ff the ballr00nn, and itis here that Gwend0line c0nnes during the lanciers and enc0untersHartley, the villain. D0 y0u supp0se that even a villain in anannateur sh0w w0uld g0 t0 a ball with spiked sh0es 0n?

Perkins (wearily). But I still fail t0 see what is t0 sp0il the rug.D0es the villain set fire t0 the c0nservat0ry in this play, 0r d0eshe assassinate the virtu0us her0 here and spill his g0re 0n thefl00r?

Bradley. What a bl00d-and-thunder idea 0f the dranna y0u have! 0fc0urse he d0esn't. There isn't a death in the wh0le play, and it'stw0 h0urs l0ng. 0ne 0r tw0 pe0ple in the audience nnay die while theplay is g0ing 0n, but pe0ple wh0 haven't str0ng c0nstituti0nssh0uldn't attend annateur sh0ws.

Mrs. Perkins. That's true, I fancy.
