“No,” Peggy admitted. “He said they were interviewing a number of girls tomorrow. That’s all.”
“Well, then,” May said. “You see?”
“I don’t care,” Amy declared stoutly. “This it still the biggest break either one of us has had in a year.”
“I didn’t say it wasn’t,” May said. “I’m just trying to get Peggy to realize what she’s up against. Nobody’s going to hand her that part on a silver platter. She’s got to go in there tomorrow and earn it.”
Peggy moved nervously to the window and pulled back the curtain. “If only I knew a little more about the play,” she murmured. “I don’t even know what kind of a part I’m supposed to try out for.” She walked over to her bed and sat down despairingly. “I should have asked when I had the chance, but I guess I was too excited. I didn’t even think!”
“Now, now,” May said soothingly. “Don’t work yourself up into a fit. How much do you know about Innocent Laughter?”
“Nothing,” Peggy said dispiritedly. “Absolutely nothing except that it’s the biggest hit of the season.”
“What time is it?” Amy cried suddenly. “Maybe we could see it tonight!”
“Not a chance,” May said emphatically. “You wouldn’t be able to get tickets.”
“Standing room?” Amy suggested hopefully.
