Jujelisa5 мая 2023 г.Читать далееЭто был высокий, неуклюжий мужчина, считалось, что он такой же гордый, как и его мать, графиня, но на самом деле он просто не знал, что говорить людям, чьи повседневные привычки и интересы так отличались от его собственных, и при встрече с ними обычно робко и вяло произносил банальности. Он, вероятно, был бы очень признателен за пособие по светской беседе и старательно заучил бы все фразы.

'There are three old ladies sitting somewhere, and thinking about you just at this very minute; one has a distaff in her hands, and is spinning a thread; she has come to a knot in it, and is puzzled what to do with it. Her sister has a great pair of scissors in her hands, and wants--as she always does, when any difficulty arises in the smoothness of the thread--to cut it off short; but the third, who has the most head of the three, plans how to undo the knot; and she it is who has decided that you are to go to Hamley. The others are quite convinced by her arguments; so, as the Fates have decreed that this visit is to be paid, there is nothing left for you and me but to submit.'
