Subject:      Reference??

I am embarrassed to confess to having lost the source of a passage
which I need to quote. Can anyone recognise the author of the
following, which refers to  _The Castle of Perseverance_ ?

"Sometimes where symmetry appears to be pointlessly broken,
the speech concerned begins a new page in the manuscript,
suggesting that lines may have been omitted as the scribe turned
a leaf. Examples include Gluttony's speech at 1960, which seems
to be inexplicably four lines short."

I have tried dozens of possible sources, and begin to fear that it
is from some long-since-returned book borrowed on Interlibrary
loan...

Anyone identifying the quotation for me will, of course, be duly
acknowledged.

A Happy Christmas to one and all!

Avril

Subject:      MRDS Party

To all members of MRDS who will be at MLA: the Newsletter you just
received appears not to have an announcement of our annual party at MLA.
I will have a reception in my room at the Fairmont Hotel on Thursday, 28
December, 5:30-7:00.  Since the party occurs before any of our sessions,
would each of you pass along the information to friends and colleagues.
We look forward to seeing you there.

                                        Larry Clopper

I know the following is hardly a party topic, but I suspect there will be some
 shop talk
amid the festivities, so I venture to make this request.

Would you please mention to those assembled that I am seeking bibliographical
 citations
of short plays for four or fewer actors to publish in a forthcoming theatrical
 index and
strongly desire to include medieval examples.

I can be reached at heniford@ix.netcom.com at the convenience of anyone who
 might care
to respond.

Happy holidays.

Lewis
