    2) (at smb.) нападать, набрасываться на кого-л. [первонач. в полицейском жаргоне XVIII в. выражение означало обеспечить поимку преступника]

    There is no doubt that the police attack was planned beforehand, for no sooner did the strikers appear, than the police made a dead set at them. — Несомненно, нападение полиции было заранее подготовлено, так как не успели бастующие появиться, как полисмены тотчас же на них набросились.

    After some time I went down to the silver-mines and tried to get work there; but it was all no good. The managers laughed at the very notion of taking me on, and as for the men, they made a dead set at me. (E. L. Voynich, ‘The Gadfly’, part II, ch. 3) — С плантаций я перекочевал на серебряные рудники в надежде получить работу там... Но и это не привело ни к чему; управляющие смеялись, а рабочие буквально травили меня.

    I recollect, sir, there was a girl at Dumdum... who made a dead set at me in the year '4... (W. Thackeray, ‘Vanity Fair’, ch. III) — Я помню, сэр, в Думдуме тоже была девица... которая в 1804 году собиралась во что бы то ни стало женить меня на себе...

    Henry: "...And you know, it's always flattering when a pretty girl makes a dead set at you" (W. S. Maugham, ‘Caesar's Wife’, act 2) — Генри: "...Мужчине, знаете ли", очень льстит, когда за ним бегает хорошенькая девушка.

    ...she was a jealous little thing, she was always thinking women were making a dead set at him. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Theatre’, ch. VIII) —...Джулия была ужасно ревнива. Она считала, что все женщины вешаются ему на шею.

    "Хороший индеец - только мертвый индеец"
    Фраза, приписываемая генералу Ф. Шеридану [ Sheridan, Philip Henry]. Спустя десятилетие, когда война была закончена и индейцы были разгромлены, он же высказался следующим образом: " Мы отобрали у них земли и средства к существованию, нарушили их жизненный уклад, их обычаи, принесли им болезни и загнивание общества, и именно поэтому и против всего этого они объявили войну. Мог ли кто-либо ожидать чего-то иного?" ["We took away their country and their means of support, broke up their mode of living, their habit of life, introduced dicease and decay among them, and it was for this and against this that they made war. Could anyone expect less?"]
