For, assuming that Clyde persisted in denying that he had carried a camera... then how damning in court, and out of a clear sky, to produce this camera... (Th. Dreiser, ‘An American Tragedy’, booh III, ch. XI) — Допустим, Клайд будет все так же упорно отрицать, что он взял с собой фотоаппарат... какое убийственное впечатление - как гром среди ясного неба! - произведет тогда на суде этот аппарат...

Yet all at once... and out of a clear sky, the papers were full of an enormous financial crash of which he was the centre. (Th. Dreiser, ‘Twelve Men’, ‘Vanity, Vanity’) — И вдруг... с абсолютно, казалось бы, ясного неба грянул гром. В середине зимы я прочел сообщение о грандиозном финансовом крахе, связанном главным образом с именем X.
