Sample Text:
Narrator: Another cat! Most confusing! Now, wouldn’t it have made more sense if
Susan: (Interrupting) Aha! I can see where this is going! You’re thinking I should have married Percy? Another cat?
Narrator: (Holding his head) Oh dear, remind me, what did you say your name was?
Susan: I didn’t! But it’s Susan!
(Enter Cat and Captain)
Cat: A domestic cat! One with a name! A rather different life from mine!
Captain: (Indignantly) Hey! You were well enough looked after
Cat: But I had to work for my food!
Captain: Quite right too! No room for any lazy landlubbers on my ship!
