If she heard a story about any of her acquaintances, she would forthwith set off full sail, and never rest until, to use her usual expression, she had got "to the bottom of it", which meant nothing more than telling it to everybody she knew. (W. Irving, ‘Salmagundi’, NIX, ‘From My Elbow-Chair’) — Стоило ей услышать сплетню о ком-либо из своих знакомых, как она с места в карьер принималась за дело и не успокаивалась до тех пор, пока, как она говорила, не "узнает всю подноготную", что означало: пока не раструбит об этом везде и всюду.

I saw Spencer going under full sail for their house. (DEI) — Я видел, как Спенсер несся к их дому.
