‘I hear you, my Lord Duke,’ said Christian. ‘The curl of your upper lip and your eyebrow does not escape me. Your Grace knows the French proverb, "He laughs best who laughs last". But I hear you.’ (W. Scott, ‘Peveril of the Peak’, ch. XXXVIII) — - Я слушаю вас, милорд, - сказал Кристиан. - Но не думайте, насмешливое выражение вашего лица не ускользнуло от меня. А ведь хорошо смеется тот, кто смеется последним, - вашей светлости известна эта французская пословица. Но все-таки я слушаю вас.
