Chapter 21
I sent the script to Diego as an email attachment as soon as Iâd incorporated the final tweaks made at Wednesday eveningâs meeting. He emailed back to acknowledge its receipt and invite me to meet him at Harrietâs the next day for lunch. I accepted, but not without some misgivings. Directors have been known to ask for changes.
The place was busy when I arrived. It isnât all that big and almost every table was occupied. I gave myself points for recognizing all but one of Adaâs customers. The exception was a young man sitting alone at a table in the center of the restaurant. He looked to be somewhere in his late twenties and was casually dressed in jeans and a Red Sox T-shirt. I approved of the latter. How could I not when Iâd spent some fifty years living in New England?
Diego was waiting for me at a table for two and had chosen the chair with a view of the door so he could keep an eye out for me. âOver here, Ms. Lincoln.â
âCall me Mikki.â
I sat down across from him, my back to the rest of the patrons. I was just as well pleased to be spared distractions. I tend to be a people watcher. I could still hear bits and pieces of the conversations going on around us, but I was able to ignore them and focus on what Diego thought of the pageant script.
âI think itâs great,â he said. âLively. Lots of interesting characters. Given how little information you had to go on about the early settlers, you did a remarkable job of fleshing them out.â
âIt helped that one of them was an ancestor of mine,â I confided. âI just thought about my grandfather when I was writing dialogue for John Greenleigh.â
He chuckled. âI imagine Ms. Feldman drew on memories of her relatives as well. Of course, she actually knew the characters she was writing about.â
We chatted in this vein for a quarter of an hour. Or, to be honest, I babbled on about stories weâd uncovered in our research while he polished off his soup and sandwich. Iâd barely touched my BLT when Diego announced he had to leave.
âI need to get the scripts printed for the casting call tomorrow and handle a few other details. You should come to tryouts.â
âTo try out? I donât think so.â
âTo advise. Who knows better than you do what to look for in our aspiring actors?â
He signaled Ada for the check and refused to let me pay for my own food. I didnât argue. Neither did I commit myself to anything. Although I admired his enthusiasm, I didnât believe for one minute that Diego was going to coax Oscar-worthy performances out of our local talent. Iâd be happy if he ended up with warm bodies who could get their lines out without mumbling.
Once he left, I concentrated on finishing my sandwich. I had a full afternoon ahead of me. I hadnât precisely neglected my clients while working
