Bill set off to the little pawn shop on Main Street. He wrapped the Bible carefully, saying, ‘A man doesn't want anyone to see 'im carrying a Bible. Might think he's a sky pilot.’ (D. Cusack, ‘Caddie. A Sydney Barmaid’, ch. XXXVIII) — Билл отправился в ломбард на Главной улице. Тщательно заворачивая Библию, он сказал: "А то, чего доброго, за попа примут!"

Aubrey: "...It was at the university that I became what was then called a sky pilot." (B. Shaw, ‘Too True to Be Oood’, act III) — Обри: "...Я стал священником в университете; их называли в то время "проводниками на небесах"."
