Side to him. And terribly good-looking. My word. - раздел Искусство, Уильям Сомерсет Моэм Театр William Somerset Maugham "well, Miss Phillips, Fat Coming Off Nicely?" ...

"Well, Miss Phillips, fat coming off nicely?"

"Oh, Mr. Gosselyn, there's not an ounce of fat on Miss Lambert. I think it's

wonderful the way she keeps her figure."

"Pity I can't have you to massage me, Miss Phillips. You might be able to do

something about mine."

"How you talk, Mr. Gosselyn. Why, you've got the figure of a boy of twenty. I

dont' know how you do it, upon my word I don't."

"Plain living and high thinking, Miss Phillips."

 

Julia was paying no attention to what they said (Джулия не обращала внимания

на то, что они говорили) but Miss Phillips's reply reached her (но ответ мисс

Филлипс она услышала: «достиг ее»).

"Of course there's nothing like massage (конечно, ничего нет лучше: «ничего не

сравниться с» массажа), I always say that (я всегда так говорю), but you've got

to be careful of your diet (но надо быть осмотрительным в диете: «быть

осторожным в питании»). That there's no doubt about at all (в этом нельзя

сомневаться, совершенно /так/)."

"Diet (диета)!" she thought (думала она). "When I'm sixty (когда мне

исполнится шестьдесят) I shall let myself go (я дам себе волю; to let oneself go

— дать волю своим чувствам, разойтись, не следить за собой). I shall eat all

the bread and butter I like (я буду есть /все те/ хлеб с маслом /которые/ я так

люблю). I'll have hot rolls for breakfast (я буду /есть/ горячие булочки на

завтрак), I'll have potatoes for lunch (я буду есть картошку на ланч) and

potatoes for dinner (и картошку на обед). And beer (и пиво). God, how I like
