{Thank you, dice gods... rolled a 16 for audience reaction! At least she isn't going to get booed off the stage.}
The audience doesn't have a uniform reaction -- some people seem a bit confused or bored, despite polite interest, but there are a few people who are connecting well. Seeing those faces, no matter how few they are, energizes Mary.
At the end of her performance, she 'reads aloud' the note that Shirley leaves for her husband, that she's going on holiday for two weeks. Mary picked Evgiakti to stand in for Greece. And then she marches off the stage, head held high.
As the curtain descends, there's enough applause that Mary feels good about how it all went.
