The idea
Unit thirteen noted the shift. In his plays prose tends to go to comic scenes, to servants and clowns, and to characters whose composure has broken. The shift is visible before a word is read, so check the shape of the passage first.
In practice
Check the shape before the words.
Where people slip
The shift is visible on sight.
