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
Just clear away those things on the dressing-table.
Maid
[Doing so.] Very well, miladi.
Lady Frederick
You may have a cigarette, Charlie.
Mereston
Thanks. My nerves are a bit dicky this morning.
Lady Frederick
Oh, blow the thing! Angélique, come and help me.
Maid
Yes, miladi.
[She goes out.
Lady Frederick
At last.
[She comes in, having changed the kimono for a very beautiful dressing-gown of silk and lace.
Lady Frederick
Now, are you pleased?
Mereston
Of course I'm pleased.
Lady Frederick
Then you may make love to me.
Mereston
You say such disconcerting things.
Lady Frederick
[Laughing.] Well, Charlie, you've found no difficulty in doing it for the last fortnight. You're not going to pretend that you're already at a loss for pretty speeches?
Mereston
When I came here, I had a thousand things to say to you, but you've driven them all out of my head. Won't you give me an answer now?
Lady Frederick
What to?
Mereston
You've not forgotten that I asked you to marry me?
Lady Frederick
No, but you asked me under very peculiar circumstances. I wonder if you can repeat the offer now in cold blood?
Mereston
Of course. What a cad you must think me!
Lady Frederick
Are you sure you want to marry me still – after having slept over it?
Mereston
Yes.
Lady Frederick
You are a good boy, and I'm a beast to treat you so abominably. It's awfully nice of you.
Mereston
Well, what is the answer?
Lady Frederick
My dear, I've been giving it you for the last half-hour.
Mereston
How?
Lady Frederick
You don't for a moment suppose I should have let you into those horrible mysteries of my toilette if I'd had any intention of marrying you? Give me credit for a certain amount of intelligence and good feeling. I should have kept up the illusion, at all events till after the honeymoon.
