What you’re forgetting is we need a licence from the Lord Chamberlain
你不要再想了，舞台上上演的…
for whatever we put on the stage. He’ll never approve it.

Pardon?
什么？
That’s a fisherman’s term, dear. It has to do with hooking a trout.
这没什么难的，许可证算什么
You do lead a narrow life.

and nudity is on the wrong side of the divide.
太过暴露是个错误的限度
I have problems enough with the length of skirts.

On condition that I stayed behind the curtain in a box and was never visible.

In those days, it was considered terribly improper
目前已婚妇女看音乐剧

数字不变 这可能是原因之一
Mm, this cheese is very good indeed.

If the girls did not move…

那它就能像个博物馆
