“Bingo!” Peter cried. “You’re so right. What did you do to her?”
“Nothing. Really, I didn’t do a thing. Why?”
“She saw you at the theater this morning and came storming up to Oscar Stalkey. She wanted to know if you were being considered for the understudy.”
“What did he say?”
“What could he say? Yes, naturally. She bounced around the theater like an old bag of bones, she was so angry. I wonder why she’s taken such a dislike to you.”
“I don’t know,” Peggy said. “I’ll just have to stay out of her way as much as I can.”
“That’s not going to be easy,” Pam said. “Don’t forget, you’re playing a small part in the first act. You’re playing the schoolgirl friend of the daughter.”
“True,” Peggy said. “Does she know about it?”
“Not yet.”
“I bet there’ll be an explosion.”
