Examples from texts

— Мне говорили, будто этот ваш хлыщ лорд Сэнтри отправился к праотцам, так, по крайней мере, уверял меня капитан Кэмок, а теперь выходит, что он жив-здоров; но это решительно ничего не меняет: для меня он будет мертв, сколько бы он не прожил.
I was told for certain, you jackanapes, Lord Santry was dead, Captain Cammock assured me so; and now he's alive again, they say; but that shan't do: he shall be dead to me as long as he lives.
