(А. Чехов, Ариадна) — Ariadne's like a child; she won't enter into the position, and flings away money like a duchess.
- Он - суров, мстителен, по службе - зверь. Вместе с тем - гостеприимен, охотно сорит деньгами и готов на мелкие одолжения. (С. Голубов, Багратион) — 'He is hard, vindicative and in the service - a brute. At the same time he is hospitable, throws money right and left, and is ready to do small favours.'
