The latter always accepted these cock-and-bull stories for truth as a matter of course. (W. Foster, ‘Pages from a Worker's Life’, ch.

All my customers, they go now to the Golden Star.’ (G. Gordon, ‘Let the Day Perish’, part I, ch. XVI) — - Дела идут плохо, - сказал он. - Во всей округе сейчас застой, - ответил Джордж, сочувственно посмотрев на хозяина. - Вздор. Не рассказывайте мне сказки! Все мои клиенты ходят теперь в "Золотую звезду".
