Микеш и другие, с творчеством которых и познакомит данный сборник.
Издание предназначено как владеющим английским языком, так и изучающим его.




A CANINE ISHMAEL.
“Tell me,” she said suddenly, with a pretty imperiousness that seemed to belong to her, “are you fond of dogs?” How we arrived at the subject I forget now, but I know she had just been describing how a collie at a dog-show she had visited lately had suddenly thrown his forepaws round her neck in a burst of affection—a proceeding which, in my own mind (although I prudently kept this to myself), I considered less astonishing than she appeared to do.

For I had had the privilege of taking her in to dinner, and the meal had not reached a very advanced stage before I had come to the conclusion that she was the most charming, if not the loveliest, person I had ever met.

It was fortunate for me that I was honestly able to answer her question in a satisfactory manner, for, had it been otherwise, I doubt whether she would have deigned to bestow much more of her conversation upon me.
