держать в узде, в повиновенииHe has a gentle voice and a quiet manner, but behind his twinkling blue eyes there lurks a capacity for furious wrath and implacable resolution, the more dangerous because they are held in leash. (A. C. Doyle, ‘The Lost World’, ch. VII) — Голос у лорда Рокстона мягкий, манеры спокойные, но его мерцающие голубые глаза свидетельствуют о том, что обладатель этих глаз способен приходить в бешенство и принимать суровые решения, а его обычная сдержанность только подчеркивает, насколько опасен может быть этот человек в минуты гнева.
