Tiresome admirerMarie: Sometimes Lynette was upset not only by the fact that I didn’t dance or communicate with someone, but right the opposite. Task: Go through the children’s room in ghosts mode. Lynette: I saw you dancing with lieutenant Gordon today. Marie: You have excellent eyesight, stepmother. Lynette: Don’t be sarcastic, even the blind lord Gunlow would have noticed that. And don’t avoid the subject. After the dance you were discussing something with great enthusiasm. Marie: If your hearing is as good as your eyesight, you should know we were talking about the new prime-minister Disraeli and his upcoming reforms. Lynette: Marie, than a young lady first dances and then talks to a commoner for an entire hour, neglecting more noble guests, it looks inappropriate. Lynette: And tell me, why did you need to discuss politics with some lieutenant, while there was a son of the minister of finance himself among the invited? Marie: Are you talking about Roger? He’s as dumb as a rock. Lynette: He is handsome, fashionable and well-mannered, and his father is fabulously rich! Marie: I’m sure that this last fact is what interests you the most. Lynette: I’ve spent several weeks trying to invite him to our house, and you’ve only exchanged a few words with him. Marie: Considering that during that time he managed to confuse my father’s name, admire my non-existing sister and call me a Catholic, I’ve deemed it right to stop the conversation. Otherwise there would be a risk of laughing in his face. You completed the task and received some points of freedom and some tokens Marie: Compared to Roger even Caleb seemed like a shining example of intellect and beauty. Perhaps, that’s exactly why stepmother has invited him to the party? |
