Так получилось, что книга ко мне попала в тяжелый эмоциональный кризис и многое мне дала. Написано актуально, тут многих полезных вещей, никакого злоу...

SALADIN
But out of my dilemma
’Tis not so easy to escape unhurt.
Well, you must have the knight.
SITTAH
I will not have him,
I pass him by.
SALADIN
In that, there’s no forbearance:
The place is better than the piece.
SITTAH
Maybe.
SALADIN
Beware you reckon not without your host:
This stroke you did not think of.
SITTAH
No, indeed;
I did not think you tired of your queen.
SALADIN
My queen?
SITTAH
Well, well! I find that I to-day
Shall earn a thousand dinars to an asper.
SALADIN
How so, my sister?
SITTAH
Play the ignorant—
As if it were not purposely thou losest.
I find not my account in ’t; for, besides
That such a game yields very little pastime,
When have I not, by losing, won with thee?
When hast thou not, by way of comfort to me
For my lost game, presented twice the stake?
SALADIN
So that it may have been on purpose, sister,
That thou hast lost at times.
SITTAH
At least, my brother’s
Great liberality may be one cause
Why I improve no faster.
SALADIN
We forget
The game before us: lot us make an end of it.
SITTAH
I move—so—now then—check! and check again!
SALADIN
This countercheck I wasn’t aware of, Sittah;
My queen must fall the sacrifice.
SITTAH
Let’s see—
Could it be helped?
SALADIN
No, no, take off the queen!
That is a piece which never thrives with me.
SITTAH
Only that piece?
SALADIN
Off with it! I shan’t miss it.
Thus I guard all again.
SITTAH
