вернуться к теме разговора [этим. фр. revenons à nos moutons]

Mr. Cox seemed to lose interest in a conversation which had regrettably drifted away from the topic of himself. He turned his back on us rather abruptly, and returned to his titled muttons. (R. Aldington, ‘Soft Answers’, ‘Nobody's Baby’) — Мистер Кокс потерял всякий интерес к разговору, который, как это ни прискорбно, перестал вращаться вокруг его персоны. Но он довольно резко вырвал инициативу из наших рук и вернулся к собственным "титулованным баранам".
