Перестань ко мне придираться, мы проиграли потому, что ты думаешь, что лучше других. Если бы мы оставили эти деньги про запас, вместо того чтобы ставить все на эту чертову лошадь, у нас сейчас было бы достаточно чтобы продолжать играть. Ах, если бы мы послушались совета Джека, у него просто сверхъестественная интуиция, он нас никогда не подводил. Ладно, давай-ка пораскинем мозгами как нам теперь выбираться из этой передряги.
Парнишка для меня полная загадка, я совершенно его не понимаю. В один момент он молчалив и умиротворен, а через минуту бесится от ярости.
Он живет с размахом и наслаждается, привлекая всеобщее внимание. У него довольно приличный доход и он вполне может позволить себе такой образ жизни.
Почему ты выглядишь такой встревоженной? Опять из-за Майкла? У него прямо дар попадать в неприятности. Почему бы тебе не махнуть на него рукой?
Ненавижу, когда решение мне навязывают, но если поразмыслить, то уж лучше искать помощи у друзей, чем быть одной. Гораздо легче держаться, если рядом есть кто-то, кому доверяешь
Когда Мэри увидела лошадь, несущуюся на нее на полной скорости, она упала в обморок. У нас полчаса ушло на то, чтобы привести ее в чувство. Видели бы вы ее мать, все это время она была крайне взвинчена от тревоги.
«Эта мерзкая мелодия меня весь день преследует», выпалила Джейн.
Итак, наш выигрыш 10 фунтов, мы их разделим поровну, честное слово! И нечего тебе вести себя столь нагло!
