Ninth Player. No, you can't say that. I could have said that, but you can't.

Tenth Player. Why not?

Ninth Player. Because "Nelson" is all over and done with. The new name is "Nelson Keys." You ought to have thought of something connected with him.

Tenth Player. If you'd said "Keys" I might have done. But you said "Nelson Keys," and the "Nelson" touched a spot. Isn't that right?

Eleventh Player. "Duty."

Twelfth Player. "Bore."

Thirteenth Player. "The Marne."
