     ♦ Толпе этот ответ не понравился, да и вообще она ожидала не того. Ей казалось, что Грустилов, как только приведут к нему Линкина, разорвёт его пополам - и дело с концом (Салтыков-Щедрин 1). This reply was not much to the liking of the crowd, who had anyway expected something quite different. They had supposed that as soon as they brought Linkin to Grustilov, the governor would tear him in two, and that would be the end of it (1b).

     ♦ "На железной дороге, в нескольких перегонах отсюда стоит казачий полк. Красный, преданный. Их вызовут, бунтовщиков окружат и дело с концом" (Пастернак 1). "There is a Cossack regiment stationed a short distance down the rail way. ... It's Red, its loyal. It will be called out, the rebels will be surrounded, and that will be the end of the business" (1a).

     ♦ ...В те времена женились - и дело с концом, автомашин с разноцветными лентами и куклами на радиаторах не было (Рыбаков 1). In those days you just got married and that was that, no cars tied with coloured ribbons and dolls on the radiators! (1a).

     ♦ "А зачем тебе делать эту идеологию? Плюнь! Изучай себе наше общество, и дело с концом" (Зиновьев 2). "But why do you want to produce this ideology? Forget it! Just go ahead with your study of our society, and leave it at that!" (2a).
