BlancheVernon occupied her time most usefully in keeping feelings at bay.

—Brookner, Anita

Se comprende muy bien que el advenimiento del cinemato¤  grafo haya sido para m |¤ el comienzo de un nueva era, por la cual cuento las noches sucesivas en que he salido mareado y pa¤  lido del cine, porque he dejado mi corazo¤  n†en la pantalla que impregno¤   por tres cuartos de hora el encanto de BrownieVernon. It is easy to understand that, for me, cinema was the beginning of a newera which marked my nights, oneafter the other, as I left the theatre, dizzyand pale after leaving my heart on thescreen†on that screen that for forty-five minutes was impregnated by BrownieVernon's charm.
