(Ch. 12, the beginning) Julia was going to Cannes, but it was just before Easter when she started off, and the trains south were so crowded that she had not been able to get a sleeper, but at a travel agency they had said that it would be quite all right and there would be one waiting for her at the station in Paris. 2. Describe the Spaniard. (his appearance, how he looked at Julia, how he was dressed, his cigarette – case and Julia’s reaction to it). He had a beard, a black curly beard and a black curly moustache, but the beard grew rather oddly on his face; there were two bare patches under the corners of his mouth. It gave him a curious look. With his black hair, drooping eyelids and rather long nose, he reminded her of someone she had seen. Notwithstanding the ageing beard he was quite a young man; he could not have been more than thirty. He was not very well dressed, but then foreigners often weren't, his clothes might have cost a lot even if they were badly cut, and his tie, though rather loud. His cigarette-case was silver, that put her off a little, but when he closed it she saw that in the corner was a small crown in gold. It was rather chic, having a silver cigarette case with a gold crown on it. Julia noticed the engraving on the cigarette case and Julia decided that he was some kind of aristocrat, so she decided to behave very politely and gracious with him. The stranger recognized Julia because he had been to her play in London. 3. What was Julia afraid of and why did she think she had taken a risk having “this odd little adventure’ with the Spaniard? Julia was afraid that he could kill her or steal from her, he was traveling in the same direction with her, she did not know how to introduce him to Dolly, she was also afraid that he would blackmail her, fall in love with her so much that he would pursue her and arrange public scenes. 4.

Do you agree with the phrase “It was always best to tell as much of the truth as you could”? I think that the truth is not always the best option, because sometimes it happens that a person is simply not ready to accept the truth, or he perceives everything too painfully. As for me, there are situations when it is better to lie, but to cause less pain to a person, but you must be prepared for the responsibility that you hide the truth from a person. 6. When did Julia feel a relief concerning the “adventure” with the Spaniard? When, during lunch, she saw a Spaniard with a Woman and a girl, she thought that it was his wife and child, the Spaniard himself was as little eager to see her as she was to see him. It was a relief to her, because he wouldn't want to come to her and demand the continuation of the affair. 7. How did Julia feel before going to the restaurant with Tom? She had been as excited all the evening as a girl going to her first ball. She could not help thinking how absurd she was. But when she had taken off her theatrical make-up and made up again for supper she could not satisfy herself. She put blue on her eyelids and took it off again, she rouged her cheeks, rubbed them clean and tried another colour. 8. Why did a lump come into Julia’s throat? (Ch.13, the end) Julia was very touched by Tom's concern that he chose such an expensive restaurant that he even had to pawn his watch. He even had an old tuxedo, but he still tried to pay for Julia at the restaurant. She was pleased that Tom was willing to make such sacrifices for her. 9. The meaning of the expressions: “You can get back with the milk”, “He shone like a new pin.” “You can get back with the milk” - Early in the morning in England, milk is bred for sale, so this phrase means to arrive very early in the morning. So when Michael left for Cambridge to rehearse several plays, Julia suggested that he might return early in the morning when the milk would be delivered. He shone like a new pin. - It means to be very happy, literally glowing with happiness, or to be very neat and neatly dressed. When Tom invited Julia to a restaurant he shone like a new pin. |
