65 his room is better than his company
(his room is better than his company (тж. prefer smb.'s room to his company))предпочитать не видеть кого-л.‘Look here, you'd better clear out of here, and come back when you're sober.’ ‘I shall clear out when I choose and not a minute before,’ said Lawson. It was an unfortune boast, for Chaplin in the course of his experience as a hotel-keeper had acquired a peculiar skill in dealing with gentlemen whose room he preferred to their company, and the words were hardly out of Lawson's mouth before he found himself caught by the collar and arm and hustled not without force into the street. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Pool’) — - Убирайтесь-ка вы отсюда и не возвращайтесь, покуда не протрезвитесь. - Я уберусь, когда захочу, и ни на минуту раньше, - отвечал Лоусон. Хвастал он совершенно зря, ибо Чаплин за то время, что был хозяином гостиницы, приобрел незаурядный опыт в обращении с господами, присутствие которых доставляло слишком много хлопот. Едва Лоусон произнес эти слова, как Чаплин схватил его за шиворот и вытолкал на улицу.
