This is your play! When I told you

This is your play! When I told you that I wanted to dedicate this play to you and you accepted it rather modestly and reluctantly, perhaps you little realized that I would drag you into this so far as to call it your play. But I hope you can remember that on one bright summer afternoon, some years ago, when wc were chatting about the Malvern Festival in Mr. Dyson Perrins, lovely garden, you 两d that I ought to write plays for the Malvern Festival. I told you I had one written but not yet produced—that was The Western dumber 一you advised me not to wait for productions but to go on writing. This is always your method, consequently it must be the best method. At any rate, I find it best suited to me and have acted accordingly.My reason for making this little incident public is perhaps a very selfish one. I want to shift the responsibility onto your broad shoulders should the public think this play has wasted a few hours of (heir time, though I know if there is any profit, which goes with the labour, it will naturally come to me. This may be an unfair arrangement, but it your fault, so kindly don't blame yours sincerely
