(J. Lindsay, ‘A Local Habitation’, ch. 22) — - В общем, они друг другу подходят, - сказал Джефф, когда Гендерсоны ушли, - но я бы с такой женой не ужился, больно она чистенькая и аккуратненькая, все по полочкам раскладывает. - А я, значит, не чистенькая и не аккуратненькая? - пошутила Фил, но к шутке невольно примешалась горечь.

XVIII) — - У нас у всех разные мнения, - однажды воскликнул Уэзерли в отчаянии... - Если мы не будем действовать осторожно, то наш проект провалится.

They are still at sixes and sevens about this question. And they are... all at sixes and sevens with their various private speculations. (B. Shaw, ‘Back to Methuselah’, ‘Preface’) — Они всё еще не могут договориться по этому вопросу. И они все... запутались в своих многочисленных домыслах.
