["curry favour" искажённое curry favel от ст.-фр. estriller fauvel чистить скребницей рыжую лошадь; рыжая лошадь считалась олицетворением хитрости и обмана]‘And I tell you...’ retorted the sportsman in huge disdain, ‘That I'll make a moor-cock of the man that refuses my toast, whether it be a crop-eared English Whig wi' a black ribbon at his lug, or one who deserts his own friends to claw favour wi' the rats of Hanover.’ (W. Scott, ‘Waverley’, ch.

Heym, ‘The Crusaders’, book II, ch. 9) — Девитт взглянул на Иейтса с удивлением, но без неудовольствия. Лейтенант никогда не искал его общества - вероятно, не хотел прослыть подхалимом.
