Отрывок из книги
‘I wonder when you’re going to do something useful, Rudolf,’ my brother’s wife said. She looked at me crossly over the breakfast table.
‘But why should I do anything, Rose?’ I answered, calmly eating my egg. ‘I’ve got nearly enough money for the things I want, and my brother, Robert, is a lord – Lord Burlesdon. I’m very happy.’
.....
This made Rose angry. ‘Rich and famous families usually behave worse than less important families,’ she said.
When I heard this, I touched my dark red hair. I knew what she meant.
