12 the pith and marrow of smth.
самая суть, сущность, основа чего-л. [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]Hamlet: "...This heavy-headed revel east and west Makes us traduc'd and tax'd of other nations; They clepe us drunkards, and with swinish phrase Soil our addition; and, indeed, it takes From our achievements, though perform'd at height, The pith and marrow of our attribute..." (W. Shakespeare, ‘Hamlet’, act I, sc. 4) — Гамлет: "...Такие кутежи, Расславленные на восток и запад, Покрыли нас стыдом в чужих краях. Там наша кличка - пьяницы и свиньи, И это отнимает не шутя Какую-то существенную мелочь У наших дел, достоинств и заслуг... " (перевод Б. Пастернака)
What shall we say of that man - that working man, that I should find it necessary so to libel the glorious name - who, being practically and well acquainted with the grievances and wrongs of you, the injured pith and marrow of this land... - what, I ask you, will you say of that working man... who, at such a time, deserts his post and sells his flag... (Ch. Dickens, ‘Hard Times’, book II, ch. IV) — Что сказать о человеке, о рабочем человеке - как ни кощунственно называть его этим именем, - отлично знающем по собственному опыту все ваши обиды и гонения на вас, силу и крепость Англии... что, спрашиваю я вас, можно сказать об этом рабочем... который в такое время покидает свой боевой пост и изменяет своему знамени...
Now he leaned forward, and spoke as one who goes below the surface facts of life to the very pith and marrow of his faith, and finds words and intonation to move his hearer. (R. Greenwood, ‘Mr. Bunting at War’, ch. XV) — Сейчас Кордер наклонился вперед и заговорил как человек, который видит самую суть вещей, а не только то, что делается на поверхности жизни, и умеет находить слова и тон, покоряющие слушателя.

14 call smb. over the coals
(call (haul, rake или take) smb. over the coals)дать нагоняй, взбучку кому-л.; ≈ задать головомойку, намылить голову кому-л. [выражение произошло от средневековой пытки огнём, которой подвергали еретиков]Now tell me, why is it that a conscience can't haul a man over the coals once for an offence and then let him alone? (M. Twain, ‘Short Stories’, ‘The Facts Concerning the Recent Carnival of Crime in Connecticut’) — Теперь скажите мне, почему совесть, раз наказав человека за совершенное им преступление, не может впредь оставить его в покое?
He wondered uneasily whether he had done something for which he was to be hauled over the coals. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘Winter Cruise’) — Радист забеспокоился, уж не собираются ли ему дать нагоняй за что-нибудь.
After all, Stan isn't a boy any more. Oughtn't to call him so hard. But rats got to haul folks over the coals now and then for their own good. (S. Lewis, ‘Babbitt’, ch. VI) — В конце концов, Стэн не мальчишка. Не стоило его так честить. А, черт, иногда не мешает как следует пробрать человека - ему же на пользу.
