Act 1 Scene 2

Question 1

H: Onslow, Daisy, what are you doing here? Onslow, put a jacket on

Answer 1

You must be joking. You could speed grow rhubarb in here

Question 2

H: Anywhere out of sight of people like Mrs Avery….iced lolly circles…quite unused to Onslow quantities of visible flesh

Answer 2

She’s seen more than a bare arm before

Question 3

E: on the night, I promise you, Onslow will have a shirt and tie

Answer 3

There’s always a snag

Question 4

E: They’re my reliables. I don’t know where we’d be without them. Gather around people, the scripts are here

Answer 4

I like this stage of things. About to change your own identity - about to start being somebody new

Question 5

D: I like the old you

Answer 5

And I can understand why. It has a lot going for it

Question 6

D: I can be a duchess. I’m not just Onslow’s moll you know. Although I must admit that’s my favourite part

Answer 6

I know she’s always ready for rehearsals

Question 7

H: It takes a leap of imagination, Daisy, to see you as a Duchess

Answer 7

I don’t know. She’s always had a natural distaste for housework and washing mucky pots

Question 8

D: Why don’t you wash a few

Answer 8

Ours is a partnership, Daze. I do the glamour, you do basic chores.

Question 9

H: Rose, we’re supposed to be rehearsing!

Answer 9

It’s been a while since she needed any rehearsing

Question 10

H: So who’s looking after Daddy? There’s no wonder he’s running loose

Answer 10

He was alright when we left. He was going through some old postcards

Question 11

M: Really? Which service? I’m rather interested in things military. R: Me too

Answer 11

He was in the army

Question 12

H: Reading between the lines we think he was something rather secret and special. Of course he never talks about it

Answer 12

He never stops!
