The play revolves around a ‘perceived threat’ and how Lord Weston and Lady Weston react to it. Let’s reverse their roles. Imagine a panic-stricken Lady Weston and a frivolous Lord Weston. Read the following piece of dialogue from the play and rewrite it to suit the changed roles.
| WESTON | My dear, your husband’s life is in grave danger. |
| LADY WESTON | The last time it was in danger you had been eating game pie. What is it this time? |
| WESTON (annihilating her flippancy with one broadside) | Assassination! |
| LADY WESTON | Well, well! You always wanted to be a great man and now you have got your wish! |
| WESTON | What do you mean? |
| LADY WESTON | They don’t assassinate anybody. |

उत्तर
| LADY WESTON | My dear, your life is in grave danger and you are being so cool. |
| WESTON | Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to me. |
| LADY WESTON | How can you be so sure? I found this small scrap of paper “Remember Caesar” and it doesn’t look like a joke to me. |
| WESTON | (Ha! Ha! Ha!) My dear lady, this is also another hoax. Why do you make a fuss asking the servants to bar and bolt the doors? |
| LADY WESTON | Why do you laugh? |
| WESTON | What else do I do dear lady? I had fixed an appointment with Mr. Caesar to meet me today to discuss planting rose trees in our garden as you had wished. |
| LADY WESTON | Oh! How could I have misunderstood the whole thing! So silly of me. |
