On the
night of the play, Jack was at the theatre early and he was already dressed in
a policeman’s clothes long before the end of the first scene. He certainly
looked the part all right, he thought as he 37 himself
in the mirror. He even thought of going out into the street to see 38
he could pass as a policeman out there. Just for fun, of
course.
Then he
suddenly felt nervous. After all, it was his first time to 39 a part in a play. How could he face all those people 40
the play? He put his head in his hand and tried to 41
his lines, but nothing came to his mind.
A knock on
the door made him look 42 . He was to go
on stage in the second scene. “Have I 43 my part
and ruined the play for everybody?” he
thought to himself,
but it was only the manager. She 44 how
nervous he was and suggested he should stand near the stage 45
he could watch and follow the play. It was a good
46 of getting rid of his nervousness, she said. She was
right--- it seemed to 47 . In fact, the
more he watched the play, the 48 he felt
himself part of it.
At last
the 49 came for him to appear on the
stage, but suddenly the manager came to him again, looking worried as she
placed a hand on his arm to 50 him
back. “Has anything gone wrong?” Jack asked. “I’m afraid you’re going to be 51
,” she said. “They have jumped three pages of the play and have
missed your part out completely.”
