67 a Roland for an Oliver
достойный ответ (обыкн. to give smb. a Roland for an Oliver дать кому-л. достойный ответ, удачно отпарировать; ответить ударом на удар) [рыцарь-крестоносец Роланд и его товарищ Оливер - герои французского средневекового эпоса. Единоборство Роланда и Оливера, силы которых были равны, не привело к победе ни одного из них]...remember, you have kept a secret from me, and if I give thee not a Rowland [= Roland] for thine Oliver, my name is not Dickon sludge! (W. Scott, ‘Kenilworth’, ch. V) —...не забудь, что у тебя был секрет от меня. Мы еще сквитаемся, не будь я Дикон Сладж!
Comforted... by the thought that he had given Mrs. Carr a Roland for her Oliver. (H. R. Haggard, ‘Dawn’, ch. XXXIII) — Его утешала... мысль, что он удачно отпарировал слова миссис Карр.
I had to bite my lip to prevent myself from laughter. What he said had a hateful truth in it, and another defect of my character is that I enjoy the company of those however depraved who can give me a Roland for my Oliver. (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Moon and Sixpense’, ch. XL) — Я закусил губу, чтобы не расхохотаться. Стрикленд высказал роковую истину. Еще одним недостатком моего характера является то, что мне нравятся люди пусть дурные, но которые за словом в карман не лезут.

68 as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb
посл."если суждено быть повешенным за ягнёнка, почему бы не украсть овцу" (ср. семь бед - один ответ) [по старому английскому закону кража овцы каралась смертной казнью через повешение]The Archbishop: "I prophesy now that you will be hanged... if you do not learn when to laugh and when to pray." Bluebeard: "My lord: I stand rebuked. I am sorry: I can say no more. But if you prophesy that I shall be hanged, I shall never be able to resist temptation because I shall always be telling myself that I may as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb." (B. Shaw, ‘Saint Joan’, sc. II) — Архиепископ: "Я предсказываю, что вас повесят, если вы не усвоите, где следует смеяться, а где - молиться." Синяя Борода: "Милорд, ваш упрек я заслужил. И я очень сожалею. Но ваше пророчество большой для меня соблазн. Ведь если, как говорят, суждено быть повешенным за кражу ягненка, почему бы лучше не украсть овцу."
Richard: ".When you make up your mind to hang a man, you put yourself at a disadvantage with him. Why should I be civil to you? I may as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb." (B. Shaw, ‘The Devil's Disciple’, act III) — Ричард: "...Если вы решили повесить человека, вы тем самым даете ему в руки преимущество. Зачем мне быть вежливым с вами? Двум смертям не бывать, а одной не миновать."
