cative centre and the nuclear word of each intonationgroup. It is not ex
pected that each student will intone the text in the same way. Your teacher
will help you to correct your variant. Practise reading the jokes several
times. Retell the jokes following the model above (See Ex. 31):
A man was at a theatre. He was sitting behind two women
whose continuous chatter became more than he could bear.
Leaning forward he said to one of them: “Pardon me, madam,
I can’t hear.”
“You are not supposed to — this is a private conversation,”
she answered.
Too Great a Majority
George Bernard Shaw’s gift of ready wit is well illustrated by
the story of how he turned the laugh against a member of the
public who was expressing disapproval of one of his plays.
It was the first night of “Arms and the Man”, a play which
had an enthusiastic reception from a crowded house. When the
curtain fell at the end of the last act there was tremendous
applause, accompanied by insistent calls for the author to
appear. One man in the gallery, however, kept up a string of
catcalls and whistling, thus expressing his disapproval.
Shaw appeared before the curtain and waited in silence until
the applause had died down. Then, looking up at the hostile
critic, he said:
“I quite agree with you, sir, but what can we two do against
all these people?”
