Lately I had been remiss in this obligation, perhaps I had not been pulling my full weight in the Place. (A. J. Cronin, ‘Shannon's Way’, book IV, ch. 9) — Последнее время я не очень старательно выполнял эту обязанность - возможно, потому, что не отдавал себя целиком работе в больнице.

Remember the Cabinet that's calling on us now is the Cabinet that's authorised huge export of coal to France in the last six months alone. Those are the birds who talk now about shortages and the miners pulling their weight. Aye, we'll pull our weight all right, in more ways than one. (J. Lindsay, ‘Betrayed Spring’, ch. 18) — Не забывайте, тот самый кабинет министров, который сейчас взывает к нам о помощи, всего полгода назад санкционировал огромные поставки угля Франко. То были те самые птички, что поют сейчас о нехватках и заклинают шахтеров не щадить себя. Да, мы не будем себя щадить - и не только добывая уголь.
