From Yana
Yana, thank you for the commentary. I would still be grateful if someone would clarify what is the point of mention in Shirley Temple, the former US ambassador in the scene with the mirror.
ОтветитьУдалитьI have some other questions, too.
What kind of perspective does the author mean as he mentions Picasso-like perspective?
Who are, or better to say, what is Gilbert and Sullivan?
What is the biblical reference Leon did not get?
What is the point of Leon's using Cockney to talk to his younger sister?
And then how about commenting on the dresses Cecilia chose and the salads Betty suggested making for dinner?
