2 scarlet whore
1) блудница [этим. библ. Revelation XVII, 1 - 6]...now and then. In conspiracy with Miss Graves, she ventured a white feather or a pink rose in her bonnet, but the Vicar insisted that it should disappear; he said he would not go to church with the scarlet woman; Mrs. Carey sighed as a woman but obeyed as a wife. (W. S. Maugham. ‘Of Human Bondage’, ch. 7) —...время от времени, сговорившись с Мисс Грейвс, она пыталась, словно ненароком, приколоть белое перышко или розовый бутон к шляпке, но священник тут же это пресекал: он не появится в церкви в обществе блудницы. И миссис Кэри, будучи женщиной, вздыхала, но, как добродетельная жена, покорялась своему супругу.
2) презр. "вавилонская блудница" (обыкн. о Римско-католической церкви, папизме)The Bishop: "...His father was an eminent Nonconformist divine who habitually spoke of the Church of England as the Scarlet Woman." (B. Shaw, ‘Getting Married’) — Епископ: "...Его отец был видным богословом, диссидентом и обычно называл англиканскую церковь вавилонской блудницей."
They would go to the stake if that were the alternative to paying Peter's Pence to the Scarlet Woman. (B. Shaw, ‘The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism’, ch. 74) — Они предпочли бы сгореть заживо на костре, чем вносить лепту св. Петра в папскую казну.
