well and good

well and good
разг.
ну что же, ну и прекрасно, ну и ладно; тем лучше

Liconda (with some acerbity): "You have done what you thought your duty, Miss Wayland. Well and good. If now you have other things to do, I don't think we need take up any more of your time." (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Sacred Flame’, act III) — Ликонда (резко): "Вы, мисс Уэйланд, считаете, что выполнили свой долг. Ну и прекрасно. Если у вас нет других дел, мы вас больше не задерживаем."

‘If you want me to stay - well and good,’ Dinny said. ‘You don't have to worry about me, ma'am. I'll always be standin' by if you need me.’ (K. S. Prichard, ‘Golden Miles’, ch. 54) — - Раз вы хотите, чтобы я остался, - ладно, - сказал Динни. - Не надо огорчаться из-за меня, мэм. Я всегда буду рядом на случай, если понадоблюсь вам.

All you can say for this place is that it's a long way from anywhere, and if that fact keeps you excited, well and good. But it wouldn't me. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Faraway’, ch. VII) — Одно можно сказать об этом острове - то, что он расположен на краю света. Если вас это волнует, тем лучше. Но мне это все равно.
