...he was raucously insisting that Mrs. Candy dance with him what he not very precisely called "the light fantastic". (S. Lewis, ‘It Can't Happen Here’, ch. 25) —...он хриплым басом упрашивал миссис Кэнди протанцевать с ним какой-то танец, который он довольно неопределенно называл "легкой фантазией"
