We had not really captured the pirates; they had been handed over to the admiral by the Havana authorities - as an international courtesy, I suppose, or else because they were pirates of no account and short in funds... (J. Conrad, ‘Romance’, part II, ch. II) — На самом-то деле не мы захватили пиратов. Их передали адмиралу гаванские власти. Это было сделано, как я полагаю, в порядке международной любезности, а возможно, и потому, что пираты-то были мелкота и деньжата у них не водились.

Coward, ‘Conversation Piece’, act III, sc. I) — Пол: "Вы смеетесь надо мной?" Джулия: "Чуть-чуть." Пол: "Да, вы имеете право смеяться. Но, пожалуйста, не смейтесь. Я и без того чувствую себя таким ничтожным, незначительным, не заслуживающим ничьего внимания."

Shall we wait for him? Time to me is of no account. (Gr. Greene, ‘The Power and the Glory’, part II, ch. II) — Может быть, подождем его? Времени у меня предостаточно.
