    О боже, сказал Мыслитель, прочитав статью Киса. Какая мразь!.. Конечно, кое-какие мыслишки в статье есть... Поработать над ней пару вечеров, хороший материал можно сделать. И Мыслитель углубился в работу. И работа его увлекла. Как говорила потом Супруга, Мыслитель сделал из статьи Киса конфетку (Зиновьев 1). Oh, God, said Thinker, as he read through an article by Puss. What rubbish!... Of course, there are a few tiny signs of thought in the article.... If I worked on it for a couple of evenings it might turn out quite well. So Thinker buckled (down) and found the work inspiring. As Wife later said, Thinker made a real little jewel out of Puss's article (1a).
