SCENE: A stout, middle-aged (or older) man with a cane.
MAN: Mrs. Burnside, must we play “The Randy Vicar and the Saucy Churchwoman” every evening?
Mrs. Burnside (speaking from off panel): Well, my dear Cedric, since you are actually a randy vicar……and I am decidedly
a very saucy church-woman…
MAN: Quite so, Miranda. But be sure to lock the rectory door behind us. We wouldn’t want the choirmaster to walk in on us…again!
