I thought if I went on waiting till Marry-Ann came to see me I'd have to wait till doomsday, so I thought the best thing I could do was to come and see her myself. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. VII) — Я подумала, Мэри-Энн можно прождать до второго пришествия, и решила сама ее навестить.

You can wait till doomsday before he'll tell youl — Так он и скажет вам, дожидайтесь!
