Mr. Neverout: "Pray, Miss, will you be so kind to tie this string for me, with your fair hands? It will go all in your day's work." (J. Swift, ‘Swift's Polite Conversation’, ‘Dialogue I’) — Мистер Невераут: "Мисс, не будете ли вы так добры завязать мне шнурок своими прелестными ручками? Хорошо бы это вошло в круг ваших обязанностей."

‘I understand you have some things that you wish to deliver to me personally,’ she said. ‘It's very good of you to bother...’ ‘Please don't mention it,’ I said, rather stiffly. ‘It's all the day's work.’ (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘A Casual Affair’) — - Вы привезли что-то для меня. Очень любезно с вашей стороны, - сказала она. - Стоит ли говорить об этом! Долг службы, - сухо ответил я.

He assumed that I took what came to me as all in the day's work. (C. P. Snow, ‘Corridors of Power’, ch. XXXII) — Фрэнсис считал, что для меня случившееся в порядке вещей.
