Dinny hated driving and not without reason, for her peculiar way of seeing the humours of what she was passing had often nearly brought her to grief. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Maid in Waiting’, ch. XXXI) — Динни терпеть не могла водить машину, и не зря: ее привычка видеть смешную сторону во всем, что ей встречается, несколько раз чуть было не довела ее до беды.
One of these days he would bring the whole thing to grief, and be sorry for it. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Swan Song’, part II, ch. XIII) — Он угробит машину, ей-богу угробит, и сам потом будет жалеть.
