6 the old lady in Threadneedle Street
шутл."старая леди с Треднидл-стрит", Английский банк [выражение обязано своим происхождением карикатуре, на которой премьер-министр Уильям Питт Младший пытается завладеть золотом старой леди, сидящей на запертом сундуке. Деньги были нужны Питту для войны с Наполеоном. Подпись под карикатурой гласила: Political Ravishment, or The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street in Danger!]When dinner was announced, Mr. Dombey took down an old lady like a crimson pin-cushion stuffed with banknotes, who might have been the identical old lady of Threadneedle Street, she was so rich and looked so unaccommodating... (Ch. Dickens, ‘Dombey and Son’, ch. XXXVI) — Когда доложили, что обед подан, мистер Домби предложил руку старой леди, похожей на малиновую бархатную подушечку для булавок, набитую банковыми билетами, которая могла бы сойти за "старую леди с Треднидл-стрит" - так была она богата и такой казалась непокладистой...
Though some still call the Bank of England "the old lady of Threadneedle Street" she is, in fact, a wicked old Tory harridan, whose aim in life is to help the City of London make more money at the expense of the working people. — Хотя кое-кто все еще называет Английский банк "старой леди с Треднидл-стрит", но банк этот лучше назвать старой злой каргой консервативного толка, озабоченной только тем, чтобы помогать лондонскому Сити богатеть за счет трудящихся.
