≈ страсти разгорелись не на шутку ( в споре) [букв. с рапир слетели наконечники]Lord Illingworth: "...But, if you wish let us stay here. Yes, let us stay here. The Book of Life begins with a man and a woman in a garden." Mrs. Allonby: "It ends with Revelations." Lord Illingworth: "You fence divinely. But the button has come off your foil." Mrs. Allonby: "I have still the mask." Lord Illingworth: "It makes your eye lovelier." (O. Wilde, ‘A Woman of No Importance’, act I) — Лорд Иллингворт: "...Но если хотите, останемся здесь. Да, останемся. Книга Жизни начинается с мужчины и женщины в саду." Миссис Оллонби: "А кончается Откровением." Лорд Иллингворт: "Вы парируете божественно. Но с вашей рапиры соскочил наконечник - это опасно." Миссис Оллонби: "Зато маска еще на мне." Лорд Иллингворт: "От этого ваши глаза только сильнее блестят."
