DRAUGHT
42.
Personal Assistant- You remember Miguel the Magus?
Governor- I knew him passing well, we'd meet in social
clubs and in the street, here and there.
Personal Assistant- And how quick the public were to
drop his sensational disappearance as a publicity stunt.
Governor- The media had done its quota of kidnaps
and murders for the week, he would've been a
drag on circulation.
Personal Assistant- I fear we too will vanish under a
succession of crises.

[Enter, Clone and Maria, passing through a mangrove
thicket, the Magus trailing.]
Maria-I suppose I could make a sportsbra out of two
coconut half shells.
18a.
Maria- You look happy as can be.
Clone- To cover my anxiety about our imaginary future.
If good fortune can be primed with good will and
prayer. Let me guess your name, Maria.
Maria- Is not every second girl in Bogota called Maria,
then factor it in as a family name as well.
Clone- People have no imagination.
