‘It's only one story, of course.’ ‘Oh, shut up, and do stop the humility act. You're as proud as Punch... so for God's sake look it!’ (P. H. Johnson, ‘The Survival of the Fittest’, part IV, ch. V) — - Ведь принят только один рассказ. - Да замолчи ты, тебе не идет унижаться. Ведь ты дьявольски горд... и, ради бога, не скрывай этого.

‘I love Jackie-Boy - even with his ugly nose!’ Then she would give the nose a sound tweak. And I would fondle that hooked, askew, cartilaginous monstrosity, pretending great pain but proud as Punch of the thing simply because she had put her fingers on it. (R. P. Warren, ‘All the King's Men’, ch. VI) — - Я люблю моего милого Джеки, хотя у него такой страшный клюв. И крепко дергала меня за нос. А я поглаживал это горбатое, кривое, хрящеватое страшилище, притворяясь, что мне очень больно, но в душе гордясь тем, что Анна до него дотронулась.
