– What’s wrong here, admit it right away. – the girl demanded, narrowing her hawk eye.

More recently, she was questioning administration officials in London with the same intensity, looking for clues in suspicious reshuffles in posts and the upcoming election of the British Prime Minister.

– Darling, take it and that’s it. – After a pause, the owner of the house began. He seemed startled by the question, but for a moment, no more. This happens if an actor is poorly trained, and he is thrown off by a dissatisfied exclamation from the director. Then the smile appeared again on the shiny face.

– This will not work. Confess, or I'll go home.

Unable to withstand her pressure, the old Jew nevertheless cried out.

– There are ghosts roaming here!

A new image, because she had never curled her hair before. All that's left is to find a guy and a job, and it's done.

“Do I want a new relationship so soon after cheating? No I do not want to. I need a new job. For what? To feed yourself? I have a ton of money, I could spend another whole year on a spree and still have some left over, considering my needs. Maybe it’s worth resting a little and surrendering to life as it is, completely, all-consumingly?”
