On the night
of the play. Jack was at the theater early and he was already dressed in a
policeman's clothes long
1 the end of the first
scene. He certainly looked the part all right he thought as he 2 himself in the mirror. He 3 thought of going out into the
street to see 4 he could pass as 5 out there. Just for 6 , of course.
Then
he suddenly felt nervous. After all
it was his first time to
7 a part in a
play. 8 could he face all those
people 9 the play? he put his head in his
hands and tried to 10 his lines (台词), but nothing 11 to his mind.
A
knock on the door made him look
12 . He was to go on stage (舞台) in the second scene. "Have I 13
my part and ruined (破坏) the play for everybody?" he thought to himself. But 14 was only the manager. She 15 how nervous he was and 16 he should stand near the stage 17 he could watch and follow the
play. It was a good 18 of getting rid of his nervousness she said. She was right, it seemed
to 19 . In fact the more he
watched the play, the 20 he felt himself part of it.
At
last the 21 came for him to appear on the
stage. But suddenly the manager came to him again, 22 worried as she placed a hand on
his arm to 23 him back. "Has anything gone 24 ?" Jack asked. "I'm afraid
you're going to be 25 . " she
said, "They've jumped three pages of the play and have missed your part
out completely. "
