  • 67 cost a pretty penny

    разг.
    стоить уйму денег, недёшево обходиться, обойтись в изрядную сумму; см. тж. a pretty penny

    There was Val going to the university, he never came to see him now. He would cost a pretty penny up there. It was an extravagant age. And all the pretty pennies that his four grandchildren would cost him danced before James's eyes. (J. Galsworthy, ‘In Chancery’, part I, ch. V) — Ну вот, Вэл поступит в университет; он теперь его совсем не навещает. А каких денег будет стоить это учение! Расточительный век. И перед глазами Джемса поплыли деньги, которые уйдут на внуков.

    It cost him a pretty penny that spree. (K. S. Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 7) — Это пиршество влетело ему в копеечку.

    Costin' us a pretty penny takin' the case from the Supreme Court; but Bronc Finley reckons we'll get a verdict. (K. S. Prichard, ‘Winged Seeds’, ch. XXII) — Передача дела по всем инстанциям из суда штата в федеральный здорово бьет по карману. Но Бронк Финли считает, что мы своего добьемся.

    Mine came from Mark Cross, and they were genuine cowhide and all that crap and I guess they cost quite a pretty penny. (J. Salinger, ‘The Catcher in the Rye’, ch. XV) — Мои-то чемоданы были куплены у Марка Кросса, настоящая кожа, со всякими штучками, и стоили они черт знает сколько.
