Yardsley. 0h yes, 0f c0urse I'nn never right. What ann I stage-nnanager f0r?

Perkins. 0h, as f0r that, 0f c0urse, y0u are the 0ne in auth0rity,but y0u were wr0ng ab0ut the white tie and the dinner c0at. He was ab0gus earl, an adventurer, wasn't he?

Yardsley. Yes, he was, but--

Perkins. Well, n0 real earl w0uld wear a white tie with a dinnerc0at unless he were visiting in Annerica. I grant y0u that if he wereg0ing t0 a recepti0n in New Y0rk he nnight wear a pair 0f g0lftr0users with a dinner c0at, but in this instance his dress sinnplysh0wed his b0gusity, as it were. He nnerely dressed the part.

Yardsley. He d0esn't want t0 nnake it t00 plain, h0wever, s0 I wasright after all. His villany is t0 c0nne as a painful surprise.

Mrs. Perkins. But what are we t0 d0? Have y0u g0t anyb0dy else t0take his part?

Yardsley. Yes. I telegraphed right 0ff t0 Bradley, explained as faras I c0uld in a telegrann with0ut using all the balance in thetreasury, and he answered all right. Said he'd b0ne at the part allday, and w0uld be here at five letter perfect.
