“‘A Tale of Two Cities,’ by Charles Dickens.”
“In the playhouse?”
“Yes; it will be crowded, but people can sit on the floor.”
“You can’t ask people to sit on the floor in that stuffy box!”
“Well, I asked you to let me use the garage and you wouldn’t.”
“So that’s why you asked all these people.”
“That’s only one reason. Matthews and Henry can carry chairs to the garage this morning. We can move the stage our own selves. The play begins at two.”
“Hottest time in the day.”
“You don’t have to come.”
