15 the gray mare is the better horse
≈ жена верховодит в доме; см. тж. the gray mareNow, what do you think of him? D'you think he knows his own mind? He seems to me a poor thing. I should say the grey mare was the better horse. (J. Galsworty, ‘The Man of Property’, part I, ch. VI) — Ну, а как вы к Босини относитесь? Как по-вашему, он положительный человек? На мой взгляд - ничтожество. Джун будет держать его под каблуком.
She hated that expression "The grey mare is the better horse"; it was vulgar, and she would never recognize its truth in her own case... (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Little Man and Other Satires’, ‘Studies of Extravagance’, ‘The Housewife’) — Она ненавидела выражение "в парной упряжке верховодит кобыла", считала его вульгарным и никогда не признавала его правильным в применении к себе самой...

But all this must be done from within the profession: it could never, in England, never, never be accomplished from outside. Now Denny and Hope must man the Trojan horse alone (A. J. Cronin).
