Она повернулась и увидела, как Том, широко улыбаясь, догонял ее. Она улыбнулась ему с чистой совестью.
Я думал, как бы она не затмила тебя в этой пьесе, а ты стерла ее в порошок.
Пьеса закончилась длиннейшей тирадой, в которой Джулия в роли бывшей проститутки бичевала легкомыслие, безделье, аморальный образ жизни, в который ее ввергло замужество.
Напряженность действия не могла быть более волнующей, а развязка не могла быть более неожиданной. Вне всякого сомнения, она произвела ошеломляющее впечатление.
Было приятно осознавать, что Том значил для нее не больше, чем рабочий сцены. Это давало ей грандиозное ощущение уверенности и свободы.
Она выглядела великолепно, отраженный от платья свет не мог не привлечь внимания публики.
Махнув рукой на приличия, она решила отпраздновать свой триумф и пошла в ресторан одна, где заказала то, чего не позволяла себе уже много лет.
Зная по опыту, что в день премьеры она крайне раздражительна, он старался держаться от нее подальше.
Под профессиональным руководством режиссера пьеса прошла без сучка и задоринки, не смотря на то, что все и вся пытались ставить им палки в колеса.
Ты решила провести меня, старого солдата? Ты лучше подумай о том, что ты скажешь драматургу, который будет топать ногами, требовать процент с прибыли и чувствовать себя на седьмом небе, когда ты назовешь его гением.
