Отрывок из книги
Hugh Walpole
Published by Good Press, 2021
.....
‘No. This is serious. I don’t know much about life yet, but I do know that men aren’t like women. Love isn’t to them what it is to women. Women only want one man and when they’ve got him they want nothing else. That isn’t what I’ve read in silly novels or people have told me. I feel it in myself. And so if you change or get tired of me I shan’t change.’ She paused a moment, then added: ‘Of course if you tired of me I wouldn’t hang on to you. I wouldn’t keep you if you wanted to go. I might be ashamed of you or despise you, but I’d always love you.’
