I never see him looking at June as he ought to look at her, and yet, he's not after her money. If she were to make a sign, he'd be off his bargain to-morrow. (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Man of Property’, part II, ch. II) — Я никогда не замечал, чтобы он смотрел на Джун так, как ему полагается смотреть, а между тем он не гонится за ее деньгами. Достаточно одного ее знака, и он сейчас же вернет ей ее обещание.
