(R. L. Stevenson, ‘Treasure Island’, ch. XII) — Рано или поздно, сэр, но нам придется вступить с этой шайкой в бой. Я предлагаю не терять времени, а напасть на них первыми, врасплох, когда они меньше всего будут этого ждать.
The parents still hesitated, so Tony went put to get his bag as a clinching argument and to give Filomena a chance to tell them in his absence that they were fools not to take Opportunity by the forelock. (R. Aldington, ‘All Men Are Enemies’, part II, ch. IX) — Родители все еще колебались, поэтому Тони пошел за саквояжем, этим, по его мнению, решающим аргументом. Кроме того, он хотел, чтобы Филомена в его отсутствие попыталась убедить их не делать глупостей и воспользоваться таким редким случаем.
