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
No, of course not. You can talk to me while I'm finishing.
Mereston
All right. How are you this morning?
Lady Frederick
I don't know. I haven't looked at myself in the glass yet. How are you?
Mereston
A 1, thanks.
Lady Frederick
Are you looking nice?
Mereston
[Going to the glass.] I hope so. By Jove, what a strong light. You must be pretty sure of your complexion to be able to stand that.
Lady Frederick
[Appearing.] I am.
Mereston
[Going forward eagerly.] Ah.
[She comes through the curtains. She wears a kimono, her hair is all dishevelled, hanging about her head in a tangled mop. She is not made up and looks haggard and yellow and lined. When Mereston sees her he gives a slight start of surprise. She plays the scene throughout with her broadest brogue.
Lady Frederick
Good-morning.
Mereston
[Staring at her in dismay.] Good-morning.
Lady Frederick
Well, what have you to say to me?
Mereston
[Embarrassed.] I – er – hope you slept all right.
Lady Frederick
[Laughing.] Did you?
Mereston
I forget.
Lady Frederick
I believe you slept like a top, Charlie. You really might have lain awake and thought of me. What is the matter? You look as if you'd seen a ghost.
Mereston
Oh no, not at all.
Lady Frederick
You're not disappointed already?
Mereston
No, of course not. Only – you look so different with your hair not done.
Lady Frederick
[With a little cry.] Oh, I'd forgotten all about it. Angélique, come and do my hair.
Maid
[Appearing.] Yes, miladi.
[Lady Frederick sits down at the dressing-table.
Lady Frederick
Now, take pains, Angélique. I want to look my very best. Angélique is a jewel of incalculable value.
Maid
Miladi is very kind.
Lady Frederick
If I'm light-hearted, she does it one way. If I'm depressed she does it another.
Maid
Oh, miladi, the perruquier who taught me said always that a good hairdresser could express every mood and every passion of the human heart.
