[0110] There's nothing to show.

[0111] Try and put it on again.

[0132] One daren't even laugh any more.

[0133] Dreadful privation.

[0134] Merely smile. [0135] (he smiles suddenly from ear to ear,
keeps smiling, ceases as suddenly) [0136] It's not the
same thing. [0137] Can't be helped ^{NOTHING TO BE DONE}. [0138] (pause) [0139] Gogo.
