         ♦ "Вот, - сказал Трёшкин, проводив Ефима долгим тяжёлым взглядом. - У меня кот пропал, а ему шапку дают из кота. Как же это понять?" - "Если мы будем ушами хлопать, они и из нас шапок наделают", - сказал Черпаков (Войнович 6). "There," Tryoshkin said, following Yefim with a long heavy stare. "My tomcat disappears, and they give him a hat made of tomcat fur. How am I to interpret that?" "If we sit here long enough, doing nothing, they'll make hats out of us, too," Cherpakov said (6a).
