A blacksmith once said to me, when... asked why he was not both blacksmith and whitesmith, ‘The smith that will meddle with all things may go shoe the foslings’. (M. Edgeworth, ‘Popular Tales’, ‘Lame Jervas’) — Когда... я однажды спросила кузнеца, почему он только кузнец, а не лудильщик также, то он ответил мне: "Из кузнеца, который берется за любую работу, проку не будет".
