84 cakes and ale
веселье, удовольствия, развлечения [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]Sir Toby: "Dost thou think because thou art virtuous there shall be no more cakes and ale?" (W. Shakespeare, ‘Twelfth Night’, act II, sc. 3) — Сэр Тоби: "Или ты думаешь, раз ты добродетелен, уж больше не будет весёлой жизни?"
There was a feeling... that in very truth the time for cakes and ale in this world was all over. It was this feeling that made a residence in Ireland at that period so very sad. (A. Trollope, ‘Castle Richmond’, vol. II, ch. XXIII) — Люди считали... что в мире наступил конец веселью и удовольствиям. От этого пребывание в Ирландии было весьма печальным.
Many Tories of the old school disliked the "Clapham sect" as they were called - for their friendship with Dissenters, their too insistent interest in their own and other people's souls, their want of appreciation of the spirit of cakes and ale. (G. M. Trevelyan, ‘History of England’, book V, ch. VI) — Многие тори старшего поколения не любили членов так называемой Клапемской секты за их дружбу с диссидентами, за их чрезмерный интерес как к собственным, так и к чужим душам, за их неспособность понять стремление людей к радостям жизни.
