JULIE: (_In an airy sophrano--enthusiastico_)

When Caesar did the Chicago

He was a graceful child,

Those sacred chickens

Just raised the dickens

The Vestal Virgins went wild.

Whenever the Nervii got nervy

He gave them an awful razz

They shook in their shoes

With the Consular blues

The Imperial Roman Jazz

(_During the wild applause that follows_ JULIE _modestly moves

her arms and makes waves on the surface of the water--at least we

suppose she does. Then the door on the left opens and_ LOIS MARVIS

_enters, dressed but carrying garments and towels._ LOIS _is a

year older than_ JULIE _and is nearly her double in face and

voice, but in her clothes and expression are the marks of the

conservative. Yes, you’ve guessed it. Mistaken identity is the old

rusty pivot upon which the plot turns._)

LOIS: (_Starting_) Oh, ’scuse me. I didn’t know you were here.
