Lesson74 Out of the limelight
An ancient busstopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off.Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions sothat no one should recognize them. But as they soon discovered, disguises cansometimes be too perfect.
'This is awonderful place for a picnic,' said Gloria Gleam.
' It couldn't be better, Gloria,' BrinksleyMeers agreed. 'No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don't we come more often ?'
Meanwhile, twoother actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large foodbaskets to a shady spot under some trees. When they had all made themselvescomfortable, a stranger appeared. He looked very angry.
'Now you get outof here, all of you!' he shouted: ' I'm sheriff here. Do you see that notice?It says" No Camping"-in case you can't read!'
' Look, sheriff, 'said Rockwall,' don't betoo hard on us. I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.'
' Oh, is it ?' said the sheriff with asneer. 'Well, I'm Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam. Now youget out of here fast!’
