‘You have taken it into your head that I mean to pension you off... But I don't mean it.’ ‘...that, sir,’ replied Mr. Wegg, cheering up bravely, ‘is quite another pair of shoes.’ (Ch. Dickens, ‘Our Mutual Friend’, book I, ch. XV) — - Вы забрали себе в голову, что я хочу откупиться от вас... Но у меня этого и в мыслях не было. - ...а-а, тогда дело принимает совсем другой оборот, - сказал мистер Вегг, оживляясь.

Lickcheese: "...I can be as sharp as any man when it's a question of business; but dooty's [= duty's] another pair of shoes." (B. Shaw, ‘Widowers' Houses’, act III) — Ликчиз: "...В делах я, знаете ли, сам жох, своего никому не уступлю, но раз долг - тут уж ничего не скажешь."

‘What d'You think fifty pounds is to me?’ cried James, a little uncertainly. ‘You must have mistaken me,’ said Frank. ‘The sum I mentioned was a hundred and fifty.’ ‘Oh!’ He coloured again, and a curious look came over his face. ‘That's a very different pair of shoes’ (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Merry-Go-Round’, part II) — - Пятьдесят фунтов для меня ничего не значат, - воскликнул Джеймс несколько неуверенно. - Вы, вероятно, неправильно меня поняли, - сказал Фрэнк. - Я назвал сумму в сто пятьдесят фунтов. - Ну! - Джеймс снова покраснел, и лицо его приняло странное выражение. - Это ведь совсем другое дело.
