         ♦ [Городничий:] Слушайте: вы побегите, да бегом во все лопатки, и снесите две записки... (Гоголь 4). [Mayor:] Listen, will you run, and I mean run, as fast as you can, and take two notes... (4b).
         ♦ Она [Гева] кинулась к кустам и ударила... по самой их гуще. В просвете торопливо мелькнуло округлое тело прирученного ею павлина, тёмным звёздным небом раскинулся хвост. Царственная птица удирала во все лопатки (Обухова 1). She [Heva] rushed toward the bushes and struck out at them. The rounded body of the peacock she had tamed burst out from among their stems. The tail spread open like a starry sky. The regal bird was scrambling away at top speed (1a).
