[00:01.080]--- Lesson 74 Out of the limelight
[00:07.000]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:12.280]--- Why was their disguise 'too perfect'?
[00:18.960]An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off.
[00:27.560]Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them.
[00:37.080]But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect.
[00:45.400]'This is a wonderful place for a picnic,' said Gloria Gleam.^“
[00:51.360]'It couldn't be better, Gloria,' Brinksley Meers agreed.^“
[00:56.520]'No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don't we come more often?'^“
[01:02.760]Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees.
[01:17.680]When they had all made themselves comfortable, a stranger appeared.
[01:22.520]He looked very angry.
[01:25.680]'Now you get out of here, all of you!' he shouted.^“
[01:30.800]'I'm sheriff here. Do you see that notice? It says "No Camping" -- in case you can't read!'^“
[01:42.440]'Look, sheriff,' said Rockwall, 'don't be too hard on us.
[01:48.560]I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.
[01:54.120]'Oh, is it?' said the sheriff with a sneer.^“
[01:58.840]'Well, I'm Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam.^“
[02:04.680]Now you get out of here fast!'
