Cec,
If you were no more than some tender young thing offering
her latest effort to this friendly little reading circle of ours,
I suppose I'd also be joining in the chorus oohs & aahs
which must already have caused you some embarrassment.
Unfortunately we both know that you signed on long ago
with a very much less forgiving bunch - the professionals
who only ever play for keeps. And whose personal standards
are far too exacting to be affected by considerations of kindness
or generosity.
Those fucking rats will make just one marvellously identifying
line coming out of the mouth of the character I suspect you are
already beginning to realise for a piece much more considerable
than some standardised old anecdote about an ugly duckling being
dumped at a dance.
'Start over,' as you-know-who once advised you-know-who,
'and this time, concentrate.'
You're far too good to be flattered or indulged by me.
Scottie B.
