играть с кем-л. как кошка с мышью; см. тж. the cat-and-mouse gameHe could also, he boasted, "play cat and mouse with any opponent", a fact soon discovered, to their dismay, by Wells, Belloc, Chesterton, and other formidable opponents. (B. Shaw, ‘Platform and Pulpit’, ‘Introduction by Dan Lawrence’) — Шоу с гордостью заявлял, что мог играть с любым своим противником, как кошка с мышкой. Это быстро обнаружили, к своему вящему сожалению, Уэллс, Беллок, Честертон и другие опытнейшие полемисты.
