‘You have been a sort of ministering angel to me today,’ he said to Gemma, pausing at the door. ‘But I suppose that need not prevent us from quarrelling to our heart's content in future.’ (E. L. Voynich, ‘The Gadfly’, part II, ch. 6) — - Вы сегодня были для меня добрым ангелом, - сказал он Джемме, останавливаясь у дверей. - Но это, конечно, не помешает нам ссориться сколько угодно в будущем.
Nurses wait outside a London hospital to go on duty. ‘We are not ministering angels but underpaid professional workers who need public support,’ say all Britain's nurses. Yesterday their leaders launched a pay campaign. (‘Daily Worker’) — Медицинские сестры собрались у лондонской больницы перед началом работы. "Мы не добрые ангелы, а низкооплачиваемые работники. Мы нуждаемся в общественной поддержке", - заявляют все медицинские сестры Англии. Вчера их руководители начали кампанию за повышение заработной платы.
