In A Dark Voice With Pauses

There are fewer people in the Velosophy office.

Gaius, Denis and Ageless have left.

Arthur is half way through the door

Remember to practise your poem, says Vello.

Don't need to, says Arthur.

You do, says Vello. You need to impress Hedley's mother.

Arthur stops, turns and says in a dark voice, with pauses, It is... an ANCIENT mariner...

Very good, says Vello. She'll like that.

Doesn't sound much like a sailor, says David.

As long as he looks like a sailor, says Vello.

Arthur escapes through the door.

How come we're sucking up to Hedley's mother? asks Sweezus.

It's too late to replace Hedley, says Vello. And the audience loves him.

And they love me, says Terence. 

And you, says Vello. They'll love you as a florin.

Stand still, Terence, says Belle. I want you to try on the florin costume.

Terence stands still.

Belle slips the florin costume over his head.

Two cardboard circles, joined at the shoulders with string.

Can you see through the eyeholes? asks Belle.

No, says Terence.

Too high or too low? asks Belle.

Both, says Terence.

They can't be both, says Belle. 

They're too high, I'm too low, says Terence.

I'll make two more holes, lower down, says Belle.

Not in the potatoes! says Terence.

No, in the fleur de lys, says Belle. Take the costume off. I don't want to be poking your eyes out.

Terence wriggles out of the costume.

Belle makes two more eyeholes.

Terence steps into the costume again.

Can you see now? asks Belle.

Yes! says Terence. What do I look like?

I'll take a photo and show you, says Belle. 

She takes photos of Terence in his florin costume, front and back.

She shows them to Terence.

Terence is not entirely happy.

The audience might love him.

But how will they know that it's him?
