Act I - 08 Act II - 42 Act III - 118 Act IV - 167 Act V - 191 An elderly gentleman of the amiable military type rushes into the shelter, and closes a dripping umbrella. He is in the same plight as Freddy, very wet about the ankles. He is in evening dress, with a light overcoat. He takes the place left vacant by the daughter’s re- tirement. - THE GENTLEMAN Phew! THE MOTHER (to the gentleman) Oh sir, is there any sign of its stopping? THE GENTLEMAN I’m afraid not. It started worse than ever about two minutes ago (He goes to the plinth beside the flower girl; puts up his foot on it; and stoops to turn down his trouser ends). THE MOTHER Oh dear! (She retires sadly and joins her daughter). Act I - 08 Act II - 42 Act III - 118 Act IV - 167 Act V - 191 |
