Chapter 52 What Do I Do To Get A Part Ill

• "The only problem I am having is your shyness and inability to relax enough to love a man with a donkey's head," said Dr. Johnson shaking his head sadly. Dr. Johnson put a comforting arm round the young girl's shoulder and pulled her gently towards him. She relaxed and allowed him to hold her close, not minding or even really noticing that his fingers were stroking her arm again. If anything, the gentle caress was soothing but she was still worried that she could lose her big opportunity and more importantly, she was desperate not to disappoint her teacher.
• "What can I do?" she moaned. "I don't want to spoil your beautiful play and I really do want to be Titania."
• "Well, if you want it that badly, perhaps I can help if you'll let me. It's up to you of course and you must never tell anyone I helped you because that would be unfair and against all the rules." Maddie couldn't understand why it would be against the rules for her teacher to help and teach her something - wasn't that his job? But she decided to play it off.
