Mrs. Crupp had indignantly assured him that there wasn't room to swing a cat there; but as Mr. Dick Justly observed to me sitting down on the foot of the bed, nursing his leg, ‘You know, Trotwood, I don't want to swing a cat. I never do swing a cat. Therefore, what does that signify to me!’ (Ch. Dickens, ‘David Copperfield’, ch. XXXV) —...мистер Дик был очарован своей комнатой. Правда, миссис Крапп с негодованием объявила ему, что там и кошку негде повесить, но мистер Дик, усевшись на кровать и обхватив ногу руками, справедливо заметил: - Но я совсем не хочу вешать кошку, Тротвуд. Я никогда не вешал кошек. Не понимаю, какое это имеет отношение ко мне!
