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

Because it's no business of his.
Captain Montgomerie
Isn't it? Ask him!
Lady Frederick
What do you mean by that?
Captain Montgomerie
Ask him? Good-night.
Lady Frederick
Good-night. [He goes out. Lady Frederick goes to the French window that leads to the terrace and calls.] Gerald!
Gerald
Hulloa!
[He appears and comes into the room.
Lady Frederick
Did you know that Captain Montgomerie was going to propose to me?
Gerald
Yes.
Lady Frederick
Is there any reason why I should marry him?
Gerald
Only that I owe him nine hundred pounds.
Lady Frederick
[Aghast.] Oh, why didn't you tell me?
Gerald
You were so worried, I couldn't. Oh, I've been such a fool. I tried to make a coup for Rose's sake.
Lady Frederick
Is it a gambling debt?
Gerald
Yes.
Lady Frederick
[Ironically.] What they call a debt of honour?
Gerald
I must pay it the day after to-morrow without fail.
Lady Frederick
But that's the day my two bills fall due. And if you don't?
Gerald
I shall have to send in my papers, and I shall lose Rosie. And then I shall blow out my silly brains.
Lady Frederick
But who is the man?
Gerald
He's the son of Aaron Levitzki, the money-lender.
Lady Frederick
[Half-comic, half-aghast.] Oh lord!
END OF THE FIRST ACT
THE SECOND ACT
The scene is the same as in Act I. Admiral Carlisle is sleeping in an armchair with a handkerchief over his face. Rose is sitting on a grandfather's chair, and Gerald is leaning over the back.
Rose
Isn't papa a perfectly adorable chaperon?
[The Admiral snores.
Gerald
Perfectly.
