"People will think you're deformed or something," she told him. "And it's not
as if it weren't good form. You should just go to a first night and see the
society people how they mob the photographers, cabinet ministers and judges

Julia came across a photograph of herself as Beatrice (Джулия натолкнулась на
свою фотографию в роли Беатриче). It was the only Shakespearean part (эта
была единственная роль в /пьесе/ Шекспира) she had ever played (которую она
сыграла). She knew (она знала) that she didn't look well in costume (что ей не
шел /исторический/ костюм: «она не хорошо выглядела в костюме»); she
could never understand why (она никак: «никогда» не могла понять, почему),
because no one could wear modern clothes (ведь: «потому что» никто не мог

носить современную одежду) as well as she could (настолько хорошо, как
могла она). She had her clothes made in Paris (она шила свою одежду в
Париже), both for the stage (как для сцены;
and for private life (так и для частной жизни), and the dressmakers said (и
портные говорили;
них больше: «не приносил им больше заказов»). She had a lovely figure (у нее
была очаровательная фигура), everyone admitted that (каждый признавал это);
she was fairly tall for a woman (она была довольно высокой для женщины), and
she had long legs (и у нее были длинные ноги).

It was a pity (как жалко;
had never had a chance (что ей никогда не выпал шанс: «не было шанса») of
playing Rosalind (сыграть Розалинду), she would have looked all right (она бы
замечательно выглядела) in boy's clothes (одетая в мужскую одежду: «в
одежде юноши»), of course it was too late now (конечно, сейчас было уже
слишком поздно), but perhaps (но возможно) it was just as well (это было даже
и к лучшему) she hadn't risked it (что она не отважилась на это;
бы подумать), with her brilliance (с ее способностями;

должна была быть совершенной). The critics hadn't really liked her Beatrice
