[Slowly]. I hope so.

[The wailing sing-song of the congregation beats in like the sound of surf; the choir’s rich harmonies rise again to the climax of Kol Nidre; Jack’s voice, clear and passionate, poignantly tops them all as the curtain falls.]

CURTAIN

Transcriber’s Notes.

Text notes:

  1. For the HTML version, page numbers of the original printed text are displayed within braces to the side of the text.
  2. In order to facilitate word wrapping, ellipses in the middle of a sentence have been replaced with a group of three periods. This group has a leading and, unless a comma is present, trailing blank space added. Ellipses at the end of a sentence do not have a leading blank space, but closing punctuation has been added if needed.
  3. Some text was silently italicized for consistency with other text.
  4. Except as mentioned above and in the Change List that follows, every effort has been made to replicate text as faithfully as possible, including non-standard or inconsistently applied punctuation, inconsistently hyphenated words, and other idiosyncrasies.
