(speak of angels and they flap their wings (тж. talk of an angel and you'll hear his wings))
≈ лёгок на помине

There is a saying: ‘Speak of angels and they flap their wings.’ The two friends came back from their stroll and there was a letter for Lanny with a Swiss stamp on it forwarded from Juan. ‘Kurt!’ he exclaimed, and opened it quickly. (U. Sinclair, ‘World's End’, ch. 18) — Курт оказался, как говорится, легок на помине. Когда Ланни вместе с Риком вернулся в отель "Крийон", его ждало письмо с швейцарской маркой, пересланное из Жуан-ле-Пен. - От Курта! - воскликнул Ланни и, быстро разорвав конверт, пробежал письмо глазами.
