По тридцать штук на всадника, на всю бригаду. Хватит?.. - С паршивой овцы хучь шерсти клок! - улыбнулся обрадованный Богатырёв и, попрощавшись, вышел. (М. Шолохов, Тихий Дон) — 'You need cartridges, you say? You shall have them! Thirty per rider, for the whole brigade. That enough?..' 'Blood out of a stone!' Bogatiryov grinned delightedly and with a brief good-bye left the room.
"Трусит явно. Накормил, сунул десятку - и чтобы никаких следов. Что ж, и на этом спасибо. С паршивой овцы, как говорится, хоть шерсти клок". (С. Мстиславский, Грач - птица весенняя) — 'He's jittery, that's clear,' thought Bauman. 'Fed me, shoved ten rubles into my hand, and wants me to leave no trace. Well, I can thank him for that much. Half a loaf is better than no bread, as the saying goes.'
