Our school is performing Kaufman and Harts' George Washington Slept Here. Everything is going fine; there's just one line I can't seem to figure out. You see, the character Newton bought a dumpy house without ever seeing it, and his wife Annabelle is verbally attacking him about it. The scene is thus:
Annabelle: Didn't you ask any questions before you said yes? Didn't you look at any papers?
Newton: I certainly did.
Annabelle: What - P. M.?
The question: what does she mean by P. M.? I found it as a newspaper on Wikipedia, and the time period is correct. I just want to make sure I'm not just being stupid and missing something obvious. Am I right, or misinterpreting it?
Thank you!:thumbs_up
