They don't know any better, poor things. You take my word for it, they'll like you all right if you 'old your own same as I 'ave.’ (W. S. Maughaw, ‘Of Human Bondage’, ch. 104) — - Не обращайте на них внимания, дорогуша, - говорила миссис Ходжес. - Мне тоже сперва от них попадало. Бедняжки, такое уж у них воспитание. Будьте покойны, вы с ними поладите, только не давайте себя в обиду, берите пример с меня.

Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 52) — - О, дорогая, - воскликнула Лора с самым серьезным видом, - муж-гробовщик ровно ничего не значит. Всем известно, что ты и Моррис не уроните себя в любом обществе.
