'In any case you weren't wounded, and as for a certain acute infectious disease, could it be diagnosed here? In any case, you almost kicked off...'

Евдокимов, Страстная площадь) — I laughed at the cowardly thought that God forbid, I would give up the ghost here, die quietly amid the tall grass in the sunny field, amid the wild flowers.

'Oh, that? I'd rather not think about it. Nearly took off for the other world then. You can consider I've been there already.'

Островский, Как закалялась сталь) — 'I was going home, you see, by the back way of course, and had just stopped at the shed to look around, when I saw a bayonet sticking out from behind a tree trunk. I naturally cast off and headed for your place.'

    Мужчина внимательно посмотрел на него. - Что, конфликт дома, и ты, значит, отдал концы? - Юрка потупился и не ответил. (Н. Дубов, Беглец) — The man looked at Yurka attentively. 'Had trouble at home and decided to take a runout powder, is that it?' Yurka stared at his toes and made no reply.
