Miner); см. цитату]; см. тж. with an ax to grindWhen I see a merchant over-polite to his customers... thinks I, that man has an axe to grind. (Ch.

Dreiser, ‘A Book about Myself’, ch. LXX) — Не кажется ли вам, что вы делаете глупость, оставаясь здесь? Не думайте, что для меня имеет какое-либо значение, останетесь вы или нет. Я лицо незаинтересованное. Я просто хотел бы знать, почему вы решили остаться.
