‘I dare you to do what I'm going to do... and I know very well you won't.’ A stab of misgiving shot through Val; this was riding very blind. (J. Galsworthy, ‘In Chancery’, part 11, ch. VIII) — - Я призываю вас сделать то же, что собираюсь сделать я... и я отлично знаю, что вы этого не сделаете. Вэла вдруг кольнуло какое-то дурное предчувствие - это была игра вслепую.

They didn't see my tracks at all - going it blind. (E. S. Gardner, ‘The Case of the Crimson Kiss’, ‘The Valley of Little Fears’) — Они не заметили моих следов, они их проглядели.
