Well that one didn't work. I was playing ...Ha! Well that one didn't work. I was playing with the idea of invisibility in a society. The two servants, Nell and Jason are the only two with names here. The driver and the dog owner go unnamed. Nell and Jason recognize each other (strictly following the rules, each other is the better choice, but the rules have been loosened) as servants. They also recognize the driver's refusal to see himself as making a spectacle of himself. He only sees the woman with the dog as the one at fault. In these short pieces, I'm trying to sneak in little bits of things to play with: In Never Never Land, I tied in elements of Peter Pan. I think I'm going to have to work harder on this one.kgwaitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009654420271577413.post-25591922267257421102012-05-23T04:36:10.010-07:002012-05-23T04:36:10.010-07:00Sorry................................................Sorry..................................................................................but.....Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009654420271577413.post-14687136819280517932012-05-23T04:35:29.740-07:002012-05-23T04:35:29.740-07:00Had to read this twice to get my people straight. ...Had to read this twice to get my people straight. I presume Nell is the maid...who is having an affair with the husband. Is Jason the driver...or the husband...and the wife remains nameless?<br /><br />One other thing....o boy am I in trouble...shouldn't you use "each other" when two people are involved, or is that no longer the case?Marynoreply@blogger.com
