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

Lady Frederick
[With a look, aside to him.] Monster! [Aloud.] Of course I can. I hadn't thought of that. [She takes a sheet of paper.] But how on earth am I to get a stamp?
Fouldes
[Much amused.] I happen to have one on me.
Lady Frederick
I wonder why on earth you should have English stamps in Monte Carlo?
Fouldes
[Handing her one.] A penny stamp may sometimes save one a hundred louis.
Lady Frederick
[Ironically.] Thanks so much. I write the name of my bank on the top, don't I? Pay Madame Claude…
Madame Claude
Now, it's no good, Lady Frederick, I won't take it. After all I 'ave my self-respect to think of.
Lady Frederick
It's too late now.
Madame Claude
[Sniffing a little.] No, no, Lady Frederick. Don't be too 'ard on me. As one lady to another I ask you to forgive me. I did come about my account, but – well, I don't want the money.
Lady Frederick
[Looking up good-humouredly.] Well, well. [She looks at the cheque.] It shall be as you wish. There. [She tears it up.]
Madame Claude
Oh, thank you, Lady Frederick. I look upon that as a real favour. And now I really must be getting off.
Lady Frederick
Must you go? Well, good-bye. Paradine, take Madame Claude to her motor. Ada!
[She kisses her on the cheek.
Madame Claude
[Going.] I am pleased to have seen you.
[Paradine offers his arm and goes out with Madame Claude. Lady Frederick goes to the window, stands on a chair and wavesher handkerchief. While she is doing this Captain Montgomerie enters.
Captain Montgomerie
How d'you do?
Lady Frederick
[Getting down.] How nice of you to come. I wanted to see you.
Captain Montgomerie
May I sit down?
Lady Frederick
Of course. There are one or two things I'd like to talk to you about.
Captain Montgomerie
Yes?
Lady Frederick
First I must thank you for your great kindness to Gerald. I didn't know last night that he owed you a good deal of money.
Captain Montgomerie
It's a mere trifle.
Lady Frederick
You must be very rich to call nine hundred pounds that?
Captain Montgomerie
I am.
Lady Frederick
[With a laugh.] All the same it's extremely good of you to give him plenty of time.
Captain Montgomerie
I told Gerald he could have till to-morrow.
Lady Frederick
Obviously he wants to settle with you as soon as ever he can.
