Excerpt: ... fifty-seven cables from home telling me on no account to let him go on the stage." "Im sorry. But Cyril is just the type I need for that part. Hes simply got to be himself." "Its pretty tough on me, George, old man. My Aunt Agatha sent this blighter over with a letter of introduction to me, and she will hold me responsible." "Shell cut you out of her will?"
