Henry Fielding

“— Скажите, братец, вы не заметили в последнее время ничего особенного в моей племяннице?
— Нет, не заметил, — отвечал Вестерн. — А разве с ней что-нибудь неладно?
— Да, мне кажется, что неладно, — отвечала миссис Вестерн, — и очень даже неладно.
— Странно: она ни на что не жалуется, — воскликнул Вестерн, — и оспа у нее уже была!
"История Тома Джонса, найденыша"

“Pray, brother, have you not observed something very extraordinary in my niece lately?”—“No, not I.” answered Western: “is anything the matter with the girl?”—“I think there is,” replied she: “and something of much consequence too.”—“Why, she doth not complain of anything,” cries Western; “and she hath had the small-pox.”
