Dickens, ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’, ch. XII) — Смутная мысль все же маячила где-то в глубине его сознания: внучка несчастна, о ней надо позаботиться. И он нет-нет да и прижимал ее к груди и утешал, говоря, что они всегда будут неразлучны...

Some days later Bartolomeo suggested that they should repeat the evening of good cheer and singing which had been so enjoyable. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Then and Now’, ch. XXI) — Несколько дней спустя Бартоломео предложил повторить вечер веселья и песен, который доставил всем столько удовольствия.

To find anything, but especially a letter, in... this jumble, was a policeman's nightmare. But Gruber had not been a policeman for long, and was therefore of good cheer. (S. Heym, ‘Hostages’, ch. 9) — Увидев такой беспорядок, опытный полицейский пришел бы в отчаяние: как тут найдешь что-нибудь, а тем более письмо. Но Грубер был полицейским без году неделя и поэтому не унывал.
