it is for a young girl to Kall genuinely and completely in love with a man about three times her aức.

This is really done beautiful- ly, and the whole thing, from her, simple declaration of love to his inevitable death in the wings while watching her donce after his own spectacular comic- back, is in perfect taste and balance.
