Searching the Play

In the following link, search using your browser's Find mechanism (under the Edit menu item in Netscape). All keywords are prefixed with a double-colon (::) and all speaker's names are prefixed with a colon-equals (:=) while location within the source is designated by a locator at the start of the string. Keywords are first grouped together in alphabetical order and then sequenced by their order within the play. As an example:

.10  ::HIMSELF          :=Jessie:                      calculator. Dawson bought it for himself, you know, but then he saw one he

The keyword here is HIMSELF (search for ::HIMSELF) while the speaker is Jessie and the phrase is "calculator. Dawson bought it for himself, you know, but then he saw one he" which can be found in the text source under MOTHER1.10.
