Here is more pronunciation.
Ration never rhymes with nation,
Say prefer, but preferable,
Comfortable and vegetable.
B must not be heard in doubt,
Debt and dumb both leave it out.


The Virtue of Pretty Penny


The Virtue of Pretty Penny, or, A Vile Murder Foil'd

By Simon Palmer

Directed by Simon Palmer


Penny, beautiful, simple and deliciously rich, is beset by suitors: venal bankers with no thought of love who seek merely to avail themselves of her fortune. However, our heroine has eyes only for Count Euro, whose exotic charm is compounded by chronic ill-health. The bankers, scenting their rival’s advantage, set out to destroy him whilst at the same time trying Penny’s virtue. At length, however, love triumphs and Penny and Euro are united.
