For the first time in her life Eily said she was having a holiday. It was marvellous not to be rushing round a restaurant and run off her legs all day. (K. S. Prichard, ‘Golden Miles’, ch. 42) — Эйли говорила, что у нее первый раз в жизни отпуск. Как приятно, когда можно не бегать целый день по трактиру, буквально не чуя под собой ног.
