Dickens, ‘Hard Times’, book II, ch. I) — - Я не претендую на понимание этих вещей, - сказала миссис Спарсит с достоинством, - мне судьбой было предназначено вращаться в совершенно других кругах; и мистер Спарсит, будучи родом из Паулеров, был очень далеко от подобных столкновений.

Aldridge, ‘The Diplomat’, ch. 1) — Он всегда держался особняком, слыл в английской колонии человеком ученым и с причудами и считал, что лучше отстраниться самому, не дожидаясь, чтобы тебя выгнали.
