Garny said it just have to go in taxes. Wish we could.
Lacht

Petrova have you been wearing my dress.

Nanna said you might need this.
We don’t. Garny, our gardian teaches us from home.
Fossil. I suppose it is.

I’m not sure. I think they mean some service to our country.
A vow?
We vow. Posy!
What’s that?
lacht

How do you do? I’m Pauline.
Madame.

I’m starting to rehearse my audition in a week.
It’s what you have to show managers.
Anyone who goes up any audition anywhere has to sing, dance or recite. Doesn’t matter which school you train at, it’s what you have to do.
I don’t want to tap dance either. But I think I would like to act.

Five what? Shillings?

huilt
From the summer before last!
Shut up Posy!

Pauline Fossil.
I recite:
Puck, a midsummer night’s dream.
I am that merry wanderer of the night.
I jest to Oberon and make him smile
When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile
Neighing in likeness of a filly foal
And sometime lurk I in a gossip’s bowl
In very likeness of a roasted crab
And when she drinks, against her lips I bob
And on her wither’d dewlap pour the ale.

Only one third of our earnings.
Garny, we know we are poor.

Petrova. Petrova.
Do you think I can do it?
Play Alice. Winifred was better than me at the audition and it’s a massive part.

Stop!
You’re nothing but a package of playing carts.

They have announced a month of extra matinees.
And next week princes Elizabeth and princes Margret-Rose are coming.
Oh I hope not. I’m always so tired shows.
Posy would you ran downstairs and hand me my handkerchiefs.
No. I just need to save my strengths.
I think you both are absolutely viol.

We could do it again.
Let Winifred do it.. That is what she can do at least since she is sitting in my dressing room night after night.
How can you even say that.
Fetch it your self in you want to fetch it.

huilt
I was so selfish.
All I was thinking about was proving myself. Making everybody see I was talented.
I have to be. You have to be, Posy has to be.
Do you ever worry that all of us three have is each other. That that’s all we can do. Our talent.
Do you think it’s true?

We three fossils vow to come in the history books because of the uniquely ours and ours alone. We also vow to earn some money to help Garny and support ourselves till Gun comes home. Amen.
We haven’t had work since Alice. We need help and I don’t care where it comes from.
Amen.

We need a new dress. Each. We look good if we’re dressed the same and nana can make them both.
How much does a piece of material cost?
We have to go. We have to get these jobs.

As young as I am.
No. Please you must let her finish.
Mr. French.
Yes.
Thank you.

Ready.

I’ll practise with you, that will help.
Don’t.
What do you mean, you feel stupid?

Sir Donald the first is next. They haven’t cast the prince and the tale yet. Do you think I would try to cast?
I wouldn’t do anything to you.
We would both earning something for poor Garny.
You can’t have what your heart desire now. There aren’t any fourteen year old aviators.

And scalp her.
I can’t believe I’m going for a screen test.
Charles the third’s sister Henriette. I don’t even know how see looks like.

I’m nearly sixteen.
I don’t know. I don’t know much about them.
No. I need to be an actress.

I will try.
I will.
I will.
I will.
It takes so many takes. I can’t concentrate. I can build myself up. I can be a character.
Acting.
I will try.
I will.
I thought about my sisters. How awful it must be to live alone.

Can’t I go with Petrova.

I let show what magic means. I call upon the jumping beans.

Look at that.
I’m to old for a party dress.
You don’t need a new dress for something like that.

No one made you do it!
What do you mean by going to Jersey in skirt.
I feel like a complete fool Petrova. I’m terrible in that film. Tomorrow my face is going to been blown up as big as a house.

She’s ambitious. That’s all.
You can’t do that.

No sign of her.
I’ve been offered a contract by United Artists.
I have to go for five years. That’s five years without everything.
Posy! Where have you been?
Garny is Mr. Montseqieu still upstairs?
I don’t. Not anymore. I’ll sign.
Something means you can study with Manhof and Garny can go to California where the climate is better to get her health back.
I can’t live in Hollywood on my own and nana has to go to Prague with Posy.
Are you, Gun?
Pauline.

Because she’s ours and ours alone. And when she finds the ways in the sky no one can ever say it’s because of her grandfathers.
We vow.
Amen.
