[00:00:01] --- Lesson 74 Out of the limelight

[00:00:07] --- First listen and then answer the question.

[00:00:12] --- Why was their disguise 'too perfect'?

[00:00:18] An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off.

[00:00:27] Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them.

[00:00:37] But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect.

[00:00:45] 'This is a wonderful place for a picnic,' said Gloria Gleam.^"

[00:00:51] 'It couldn't be better, Gloria,' Brinksley Meers agreed.^"

[00:00:56] 'No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don't we come more often?'^"

[00:01:02] Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees.

[00:01:17] When they had all made themselves comfortable, a stranger appeared.

[00:01:22] He looked very angry.

[00:01:25] 'Now you get out of here, all of you!' he shouted.^"

[00:01:30] 'I'm sheriff here. Do you see that notice? It says "No Camping" -- in case you can't read!'^"

[00:01:42] 'Look, sheriff,' said Rockwall, 'don't be too hard on us.

[00:01:48] I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.

[00:01:54] 'Oh, is it?' said the sheriff with a sneer.^"

[00:01:58] 'Well, I'm Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam.^"

[00:02:04] Now you get out of here fast!'
