2 loaves and fishes
земные блага [этим. библ. John VI, 9-27]Who can wonder that a gentleman with fourteen living children and a bare income of £400 a year should look after the loaves and fishes even when they are under the thumb of a Mr. Slope. (A. Trollope, ‘Barchesler Towers’, ch. VII) — Приходится ли удивляться тому, что джентльмен, у которого четырнадцать детей и только 400 фунтов дохода в год, интересуется земными благами, даже если их распределение зависит от такого человека, как мистер Слоуп.
