Abbreviated in the Manuscript Chronology as FT2.
Typescript of Cette fois, Samuel Beckett's translation of That Time into French; undated. With the author's manuscript corrections and additions. 8 leaves.
30 x 21 cm. Titled. Corrections are made in black ink and pencil. Both found in text
and margins, with ink used for textual correction only, while pencil is used for numbering
of sections in addition to corrections. Begins with staging directions and concludes
with a variant draft of the final 'Note'. First leaf is a title page.
Text now arranged in final sequence, but still undergoing internal adjustment, and
thus still contains variants. Numbering is simple; each section marked A, B or C and
1-12. So the opening trio is marked A1, C1, B1 and this continues to final set: B12,
A12, C12. Pagination in type, 2-7 on ff. 3-8.
