A large cask of wine had been dropped and broken in the street... All the people within reach had suspended their business, or their idleness, to run to the spot and drink the wine. (Ch. Dickens, ‘A Tale of Two Cities’, ch. V) — Большая бочка с вином упала и разбилась на улице... Все окрестное население бросило работу или безделье и примчалось к месту происшествия для того, чтобы напиться вина.
