"...And each, in her own way, creates entirely new, often magical worlds through her imagination...There is no love, but she doesn't mind; she has the quiet, cool intimacy of her dressing room with a window shaded by a rubber tree that fixed the room "in shadow, quiet and ordered. Everything seemed to be held in an eternal and very noble equilibrium. That was life."..."
(J.L., p. 186)
