‘Too bad!’ said Evvy. ‘I wanted his opinion on the sherry. Spanish, you know!..’ ‘No point in spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar, is there?’ (I. Murdoch, ‘The Sandcastle’, ch. XVIII) — - Очень жаль, что Хенсман не может прийти, - сказал Иви. - Мне хотелось знать его мнение об испанском хересе. - Но все же нет смысла откладывать обед из-за этого.

P. Show, ‘The Affair’, ch. 23) — - Но это значит, что еще два месяца пройдут зря, - запальчиво сказал Скеффингтон. - Об этом, безусловно, все мы сожалеем, - ответил Браун спокойно, но не слишком приветливо. - Надеюсь, однако, мы все согласимся, что сейчас было бы совсем ни к чему портить бочку меда ложкой дегтя.
