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

[Exit Servant.
Fouldes
Is it a big one?
Lady Frederick
Oh, no; only seven hundred pounds.
Fouldes
By Jove.
Lady Frederick
My dear friend, one must dress. I can't go about in fig-leaves.
Fouldes
One can dress simply.
Lady Frederick
I do. That's why it costs so much.
Fouldes
You know, you're devilish extravagant.
Lady Frederick
I'm not. I'm content with the barest necessities of existence.
Fouldes
You've got a maid.
Lady Frederick
Of course I've got a maid. I was never taught to dress myself.
Fouldes
And you've got a footman.
Lady Frederick
I've always had a footman. And my mother always had a footman. I couldn't live a day without him.
Fouldes
What does he do for you?
Lady Frederick
He inspires confidence in tradesmen.
Fouldes
And you have the most expensive suite of rooms in the hotel.
Lady Frederick
I'm in such a dreadful mess. If I hadn't got nice rooms I should brood over it.
Fouldes
Then, as if that weren't enough, you fling your money away at the tables.
Lady Frederick
When you're as poor as I am, a few louis more or less can make absolutely no difference.
Fouldes
[With a laugh.] You're quite incorrigible.
Lady Frederick
It's really not my fault. I do try to be economical, but money slips through my fingers like water. I can't help it.
Fouldes
You want a sensible sort of a man to look after you.
Lady Frederick
I want a very rich sort of a man to look after me.
Fouldes
If you were my wife, I should advertise in the papers that I wasn't responsible for your debts.
Lady Frederick
If you were my husband, I'd advertise immediately underneath that I wasn't responsible for your manners.
Fouldes
