take up the cry

The interview was published next day in the most prominent part of the Pall Mall Gazette together with a leading article, demanding that the General should be immediately dispatched to Khartoum with the widest powers. The rest of the Press, both in London and in the provinces, at once took up the cry. (L. Strachey ‘eminent Victorians’, ‘The End of General Gordon’) — Интервью и передовая статья были опубликованы "Палл-Малл газетт" на видном месте. Передовая статья требовала, чтобы генерала Гордона немедленно направили в Хартум с самыми широкими полномочиями. К этому требованию присоединились и другие газеты, как столичные, так и провинциальные.

Gardiner, ‘Windfalls’, ‘Young America’) — Перчатка брошена, и мы ее подняли... Наши заводилы, а их было трое, первые выбежали на поле. Они выкрикивали команды и отчаянно жестикулировали. Тогда мы тоже вышли, построились и прокричали боевой клич Гарварда.
