1 чёртова дюжина
прост.lit. devil's dozen; cf. baker's dozenРаскопки начались 13 августа. Начальник нашей экспедиции Сергей Павлович Толстов уверяет, что 13 - самое лучшее число. Но реакционные жрецы скрыли этот факт от народа, чтобы тайком наслаждаться дарами "чёртовой дюжины". (В. Берестов, Меч в золотых ножнах) — We started digging on the thirteenth of August. The chief of our expedition Sergei Pavlovich Tolstov assured us that thirteen was the luckiest of numbers. Reactionary priests, he said jokingly, had concealed this fact from the public in order to enjoy in secret the gifts of the gods given on the day of the 'devil's dozen'.
