Ted Budge came along and wanted to marry Jenny. Mrs O'Nell had her hands full with half a dozen kids to feed. She was glad enough to get Jenny off her hands. (K. S. Prichard, ‘Potch and Colour’, ‘Genieve’) — Появился Тед Бадж и захотел жениться на Дженни. У миссис О'Нейл на руках было шестеро детей, мал мала меньше, и она была рада пристроить Дженни.

They parted affectionately, each pleased to think how satisfactorily they had got the other off their hands. (M. Dickens, ‘The Happy Prisoner’, ch. 5) — Они расстались преувеличенно любезно, довольные тем, что избавились друг от друга.
