1 the thin edge of the wedge
первый шаг к чему-л.; опасное предзнаменование, предвестник грядущих бедMeat for tea! What an insane notion! The woman was getting ideas into her head! He saw in the steak the thin edge of a wedge. (A. Bennett, ‘Riceyman Steps’, part III, ch. V) — Мясо к чаю! Какое безумие! Действительно, этой женщине приходят в голову странные мысли! Ему начало казаться, что поданный бифштекс только предвозвестник грядущих неприятностей.
Already the murmur of uneasiness made itself heard. Was this not the thin edge of the wedge? (Fr. Norris, ‘The Octopus’, book II, ch. V) — Уже ходят разные тревожные слухи. Разве это не опасное предзнаменование?
‘What age are you?’ he asked. ‘Seventeen,’ said the boy. As the old man said nothing further, the boy took the bottle and said: ‘Here's my best respects, sir, to Mr. Henchy,’ drank the contents, put the bottle back on the table and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. ‘That's the way it begins,’ said the old man. ‘The thin end of the wedge,’ said Mr. Henchy. (J. Joyce, ‘Dubliners’, ‘Ivy Day in the Committee Room’) — - Сколько тебе лет? - Семнадцать, - ответил юноша. Так как старик не задавал больше вопросов, то парень взял бутылку с портером и сказал мистеру Хенчи: "С полным уважением к вам, сэр" - и, выпив ее содержимое, снова поставил бутылку на стол и вытер рот рукавом. - Вот так все и начинают, - заметил мистер Хенчи. - Ты встаешь на опасный путь.

2 the angel of death
(the angel of death (тж. the Angel of Death))Another effect of his bereavement was the strange lessening of friction in his home life. Lenore, softened perhaps by the passing wings of the Angel of Death, became kinder in her everyday manner, drank a little less and made fewer sarcastic wisecracks. (N. Coward, ‘Collected Short Stories’, ‘A Richer Dust’, ch. VII) — Другим последствием смерти брата было уменьшение трений в семье Моргана. Возможно, что посещение дома ангелом смерти смягчило Ленору. Она стала добрее, меньше пила и реже отпускала язвительные остроты.
