‘I do not pretend to understand these things,’ said Mrs. Sparsit with dignity, ‘My lot having been originally cast in a widely different sphere.’ (Ch. Dickens, ‘Hard Times’, book II, ch. I) — - Я не претендую на понимание этих вещей, - сказала миссис Спарсит с достоинством, - первоначально мне судьбою было предназначено вращаться совсем в иных сферах.

...having a full-blooded belief in himself-usual with men of fine physique, whose lots are so cast that this belief can never or almost never be really shaken - he greatly disliked the feeling of being a little looked down on. (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Patrician’, part II, ch. V) — ...будучи непоколебимо уверенным в себе, как это свойственно крепким, здоровым людям, чей счастливый жребий таков, что едва ли чему-нибудь удастся поколебать эту веру, Милтоун терпеть не мог, когда на него смотрели сверху вниз.
