11 a skeleton in the closet
(a skeleton in the closet (или in the cupboard; тж. family skeleton))семейная тайна; тайна, скрываемая от посторонних [выражение введено в литературу У. Теккереем]And it is from these that we shall arrive at some particulars regarding the Newcome family, which will show us that they have a skeleton or two in their closets, as well as their neighbours. (W. Thackeray, ‘The Newcomes’, ch. LV) — И от этих людей мы узнаем некоторые подробности, касающиеся семьи Ньюкомов, которые покажут нам, что у них, так же как и у их соседей, имеются семейные тайны.
‘You don't want it to come into Court?’ ‘No, though I suppose it might be rather fun.’ Mr. Settlewhite smiled again. ‘That entirely depends on how many skeletons you have in your cupboard.’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Silver Spoon’, part I, ch. XIII) — - Вы не хотите суда? - Не хочу, хотя, пожалуй, это было бы забавно. Мистер Сетлуайт опять улыбнулся. - Это смотря по тому, сколько у вас за душой тайных грехов.
Then the Victorians kept skeletons in cupboards, but who cares about a mere Skeleton now? (Gr. Greene, ‘The Comedians’, part I, ch. V) — В викторианскую эпоху люди держали свои тайны под замком, но разве такими тайнами, теперь кого-нибудь испугаешь?
