-The only South African source on what appears to be Lumley's play seems to be a discussion by [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1980, p. 403, citing [[D.C.

Given the fact that Bosman and/or Boonzaier almost certainly have the name of the company wrong (it is probably the [[Luscombe Searelle Comedy Company]]), it is quite possible of course that this could also have been Law's text.
