Jerry went home and read the play twice. He was impressed by the play and really liked it. But, he was worried about one thing

how was he going to play a woman? He was at a loss as to how to approach the character.

The next day when he saw Mr. Wycoff Jerry asked him about it.

"Well, since you don't have any sisters to copy, and you're worried about it, let me give you some advice as to how I want you to go about this characterization," Mr. Wycoff said.
