...lost in the first act. Just when you thought things were as complex as they were going to get, in come Jack Point (Doug Miller '96) and Elsie Maynard (Heidi Brown '99), a couple of charming strolling singers. Elsie agrees to marry Fairfax--she can't resist the hundred crowns offered--and, of course, Point cares for Elsie, but he hasn't declared himself to her.

DeLima perfectly captures her character's sexual frustration, which she vents in a hilarious scene about food-related auto-eroticism...
