--- Lesson 74 Out of the limelight[00:00:01]
--- First listen and then answer the question.[00:00:07]
--- Why was their disguise 'too perfect'?[00:00:12]
An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off.[00:00:18]
Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them.[00:00:27]
But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect.[00:00:37]
'This is a wonderful place for a picnic,' said Gloria Gleam.^"[00:00:45]
'It couldn't be better, Gloria,' Brinksley Meers agreed.^"[00:00:51]
'No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don't we come more often?'^"[00:00:56]
Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees.[00:01:02]
When they had all made themselves comfortable, a stranger appeared.[00:01:17]
He looked very angry.[00:01:22]
'Now you get out of here, all of you!' he shouted.^"[00:01:25]
'I'm sheriff here. Do you see that notice? It says "No Camping" -- in case you can't read!'^"[00:01:30]
'Look, sheriff,' said Rockwall, 'don't be too hard on us.[00:01:42]
I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.[00:01:48]
'Oh, is it?' said the sheriff with a sneer.^"[00:01:54]
'Well, I'm Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam.^"[00:01:58]
Now you get out of here fast!'[00:02:04]
