Never did man pluck up his courage so quickly, or look so fierce, as Mr. Chuckster when he found it was he. (Ch. Dickens, ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’, ch. LVI) — И кто же появился в конторе, как не тот самый Кит, который навлек на себя гнев мистера Чакстера! При виде его к мистеру Чакстеру в мгновение ока вернулось обычное мужество, и он принял чрезвычайно свирепый вид.
