In pursuance of this now fixed resolve, he had to get ready to amalgamate his business with another firm without letting people know, for that would exite curiosity and make humiliation cast its shadow before. (J. Galsworthy, ‘In Chancery’, part III, ch. IX) — Но чтобы осуществить это, ныне бесповоротное, решение, он должен позаботиться о слиянии своей фирмы с другим предприятием, причем так, чтобы это произошло в тайне, ибо это, разумеется, может вызвать всеобщее любопытство и только поставит его в унизительное положение.
