Janet read her lines, stopping several times to chuckle over the nonsensical words which Abbie Naughton was required to say in the play.
“This is going to be great fun,” she told Janet. “How is your part going?”
“It’s a grand rôle, and lots of fun. I know the lines, but I’m supposed to be in love.”
“That shouldn’t be a hard part then. You rather like Jim Barron, don’t you?”
“Yes, but what’s that got to do with my part?”
“I heard this noon that Jim was trying out opposite you.”
“Honestly?”
“Honest true. Of course he may not get it.”
“Jim’s a grand fellow.”
“Seems to me I’ve heard you say that before,” chuckled Janet. “I have a hunch you’ll get that part all right.”
