Выходя из дома, Розмари не подозревала, что последующие два часа ее жизни окажутся такими необычными.

—Мадам, не дадите ли вы мне на чашку чая?

Розмари обернулась. Она увидела маленькое существо, с огромными глазами, девушку ее возраста, которая сжимала

воротник пальто покрасневшими руками и дрожала от холода.

—У вас совсем нет денег? — спросила Розмари.

—Нет, мадам, — сказала девушка и расплакалась.

Как необычно! Это было похоже на сцену из романа. Она не была простой нищенкой. А что если взять ее домой? И она

представила себе, как потом она будет говорить друзьям: «Я просто взяла ее с собой домой, вот и все!», и она сказала вслух:

А не хотите ли вы поехать пить чай ко мне?

Легкий завтрак преобразил девушку. Она перестала смущаться и лежала, откинувшись в глубоком кресле. Глядя на нее,

трудно было поверить, что совсем еще недавно она проливала слезы. Розмари продолжала украдкой наблюдать за ней.

Неожиданно в комнату вошел муж Розмари. Извинившись, он попросил Розмари пройти с ним в библиотеку.

—Объясни, кто она? — спросил Филипп. — Что все это значит?

Смеясь, Розмари сказала:

—Я подобрала ее на Курзон Стрит.

—Но что ты собираешься с ней делать?

—Я просто хочу быть добра с ней. Заботиться о ней, вот и все!

—Но, — произнес Филипп медленно, — она ведь изумительно красива.

—Красива? — Розмари так удивилась, что покраснела до корней волос. — Ты так думаешь?

Через полчаса Розмари вернулась в библиотеку.

—Я только хотела сказать тебе, что мисс Смит не будет обедать с нами сегодня. Я ничего не могла с ней поделать. Она не захотела даже взять

деньги.

TEXT

FIVE ART FOR HEARTS SAKE

By R.Goldberg

Reuben Lucius Goldberg (1883—1970), an American sculptor, cartoonist and writer was born in San Francisco. After graduating from the University of

California in 1904 he worked as a cartoonist for a number of newspapers and magazines. He produced several series of cartoons all of which were highly

popular.

Among his best works are Is There a Doctor in the House? (1929), Rube Goldberg's Guide to Europe (1954) and I Made My Bed (1960).

"Here, take your pineapple juice," gently persuaded Koppel, the male nurse.

"Nope!" grunted Collis P.Ellsworth.

"But it's good for you, sir."

"Nope!"

"It's doctor's orders."

"Nope!"

Koppel heard the front door bell and was glad to leave the room. He found Doctor Caswell in the hall downstairs. "I can't do a thing

with him," he told the doctor. "He won't take his pineapple juice. He doesn't want me to read to him. He hates the radio. He doesn't

like anything!"

Doctor Caswell received the information with his usual professional calm. He had done some constructive thinking since his last visit.

This was no ordinary case. The old gentleman was in pretty good shape for a man of seventy-six. But he had to be kept from buying

things. He had suffered his last heart attack after his disastrous purchase of that jerkwater 1 railroad 2 out in Iowa. 3 All his purchases

of recent years had to be liquidated at a great sacrifice both to his health and his pocketbook.

The doctor drew up a chair and sat down close to the old man. "I've got a proposition for you," he said quietly.
