      <div type="chapter" label="Margaret Dilks was secretary to the XII Book Club from 1940 to 1970. It is inferred from this, and from the handwriting, that she was the author of this set of minutes.&#10;">

    S. A. Reynolds in the chair. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
2. Minutes of the last meeting were read and signed &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
6. The rest of the evening was spent reading “The Taming of the Shrew” reputed 
to be by William Shakespeare. Bruce Dilks took the part of Petruchio which he 
read with all the dash and vigour of the practised Shrew Tamer. Muriel 
Stevens read the part of the Shrew, but her natural characteristics also showed 
through her interpretation of the part and she was rather more convincing after 
she had been tamed than before. The summing up in the last scene, of the wife’s 
duty to her husband was warmly applauded by all the gentle men present — Other 
parts were read, all most adequately as follows: &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Baptista —    Howard Smith.
&lt;br/&gt;Vincentio    S. A. Reynolds
&lt;br/&gt;Lucentio    Kenneth Nicholson
&lt;br/&gt;Gremio    F. E. Pollard
&lt;br/&gt;Hortensio    R. D. L. Moore
&lt;br/&gt;Tranio    Margaret Dilks
&lt;br/&gt;Biondello    Ruth Beck
&lt;br/&gt;Grumio    A. G. Joselin
&lt;br/&gt;Curtis    Mary S. W. Pollard
&lt;br/&gt;Bianca    Elsie Harrod
&lt;br/&gt;Widow    Rosamund Wallis &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The thanks of all were expressed to Alice Joselin for cutting and casting the play 
and she hastened to assure us that it had been done only with the assistance and 
approbation of her lord and master."</ptr>
