Вы барствовать-то любите; а где средства? Кабы не моя оборотливость, так вы бы чуть не по миру ходили. (А. Островский, На всякого мудреца довольно простоты) — Glumov. You like to live well, don't you? Where is the money to come from? If it weren't for my cunning you'd be begging alms by now.Матрёна.
Сопхают они тебя со двора ни с чем. Маялась ты, маялась, сердечная, век-то свой с немилым, да и вдовой с сумой пойдёшь. (Л. Толстой, Власть тьмы) — Matryona. They'll be turning you out of house and home without a thing. You've worn yourself out, my heart's darling, worn yourself out living all your days with an old curmudgeon, and when you are a widow you'll be nothing but a beggar!- Ты остаёшься, дочка, хозяйкой. Сестрам и брату не на кого, кроме тебя, надеяться. Дюже трудно будет: тогда в приют, а пока силы есть - не дай пойти по миру... (В. Песков, Шаги по росе) — 'You're to be head of the household, Nastya. Your sisters and brother have no one but you now. If the burden becomes more than you can bear put them in an orphanage, but don't let them beg their bread so long as there's a mite of strength left in you.'
