It ran thus: ‘Feel very low tonight - as if all my sap had run out. Can only keep my pecker up by thinking of Condaford.’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘Maid in Waiting’, ch. VII) — В дневнике Динни прочла: "Сегодня чувствую себя скверно - как выжатый лимон. Держусь только мыслью о Кондафорде"

I know how you feel, lad, but don't fret... I'll see what can be done. And in the meantime keep your pecker up. (A. J. Cronin, ‘The Stars Look Down’, book II, ch. I) — я понимаю, что вы сейчас чувствуете, мой друг, но не надо огорчаться... Посмотрим, что можно сделать. А пока не вешайте носа!

It was a comfort to be with someone who didn't urge her to keep her chin up or try to persuade her to do something active and useful so that she would forget how lonely she was. (D. Cusack, ‘Southern Steel’, ch. XXIV) — Было только одно утешение: рядом человек, который не лезет с советами держаться молодцом и забыть об одиночестве, занявшись каким-нибудь интересным и полезным делом.

OK, kid, don't worry, I'll be out there just as soon as I can get a taxi. Keep your chin up. (D. Cusack and F. James, ‘Come in Spinner’, ‘Thursday III’) — Ладно, дорогая, не беспокойся. Сейчас поймаю такси и еду туда. Не падай духом.
