121 the gray mare is the better horse
≈ жена верховодит в доме; см. тж. the gray mareNow, what do you think of him? D'you think he knows his own mind? He seems to me a poor thing. I should say the grey mare was the better horse. (J. Galsworty, ‘The Man of Property’, part I, ch. VI) — Ну, а как вы к Босини относитесь? Как по-вашему, он положительный человек? На мой взгляд - ничтожество. Джун будет держать его под каблуком.
She hated that expression "The grey mare is the better horse"; it was vulgar, and she would never recognize its truth in her own case... (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Little Man and Other Satires’, ‘Studies of Extravagance’, ‘The Housewife’) — Она ненавидела выражение "в парной упряжке верховодит кобыла", считала его вульгарным и никогда не признавала его правильным в применении к себе самой...

122 the new rich
новоявленные богачи, нувориши (особенно о лицах, нажившихся на спекуляциях военного и послевоенного времени) [этим. фр. nouveaux riches; см. тж. the new poor]The Club had made a stand against the newly rich, and it had taken all George Forsyte's prestige, and praise as a "good sportsman", to bring in Prosper Profond. (J. Galsworthy, ‘To Let’, part II, ch. III) — Клуб "Айсиум" сурово относился к богачам послевоенной формации, и потребовалось все влияние Джорджа Форсайта, чтобы провести в члены клуба Проспера Профона, которого Джордж расхвалил как "превосходного спортсмена".
The neighbouring towns were rich, spilled over with loots from tourists, putted with spoils, gleamed with the great houses of the new rich. (J. Steinbeck, ‘The Winter of Our Discontent’, part II, ch. XI) — Соседние города богатели без счета, наживались на туристах, чуть не лопались от своей добычи; их украшали роскошные резиденции новоявленных богачей.
