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

Поля
[Laughing.] No.
Fouldes
Ah… By the way, d'you mind if I tell Charlie the full story of your – relations with me?
Lady Frederick
Why should I? It's not I who'll look ridiculous.
Fouldes
Thanks. I may avail myself of your permission.
Lady Frederick
I daresay you've noticed that Charlie has a very keen sense of humour.
Fouldes
If you're going to be disagreeable to me I shall go. [He stops.] I say, are you quite sure there's nothing else that can be brought up against you?
Lady Frederick
[Laughing.] Quite sure, thanks.
Fouldes
My sister's very jubilant to-day. What about the Bellingham affair?
Lady Frederick
Merely scandal, my friend.
Fouldes
Well, look out. She's a woman, and she'll stick at nothing.
Lady Frederick
I wonder why you warn me.
Fouldes
For the sake of old times, my dear.
Lady Frederick
You're growing sentimental, Paradine. It's the punishment which the gods inflict on a cynic when he grows old.
Fouldes
It may be, but for the life of me I can't forget that once —
Lady Frederick
[Interrupting.] My dear friend, don't rake up my lamentable past.
Fouldes
I don't think I've met any one so entirely devoid of sentiment as you are.
Lady Frederick
Let us agree that I have every vice under the sun and have done with it.
[A Servant comes in.]
Servant
Madame Claude wishes to see your ladyship.
Lady Frederick
Oh, my dressmaker.
Fouldes
Another bill?
Lady Frederick
That's the worst of Monte. One meets as many creditors as in Bond Street. Say I'm engaged.
Servant
Madame Claude says she will wait till miladi is free.
Fouldes
You make a mistake. One should always be polite to people whose bills one can't pay.
Lady Frederick
Show her in.
Servant
Yes, miladi.
