‘Do you suppose Miss Bates has any love life?’ asked Marilyn idly one morning after Prudence had been staying with Jane. ‘She’s quite attractive still, really.’
‘I wonder how old she is,’ said Gloria. ‘About thirty, do you think?’

She hitched up her tweed skirt and stretched out her legs, clad in lisle stockings, to the warmth of the gas-fire, which Prudence, who wore only a thin dress, had thought necessary on this warm evenng.

Prue could have this kind of live if she wanted it; one couldn't go on having romantic love affairs indefinitely. One had to settle down sooner or later into the comfortable spinster or the contented or bored wife.023 - Аноним12 апреля 2015 г.

But a glance at Prudence's small, useless-looking hands with their long red nails convinced her that this would hardly be suitable.
