To see Leon eating a single sausage was to see a triumph. By the time he had got through as much pantomime as would have sufficed for a baron of beef, and he had the relaxed expression of the overeater. (R. L. Stevenson, ‘New Arabian Nights’, ‘The Pavilion on the Links’) — Леон ел единственную сосиску не спеша и с таким важным, довольным видом, точно поглощал толстенную отбивную. А когда съел, на его лице появилось блаженно-сытое выражение.
