Моего соседа Эттербери все еще кормят обещаниями, хотя место декана Крайстчерч-колледжа вот уже шесть месяцев как пустует, и Эттербери, конечно, весьма этим раздражен.
They still keep my neighbour Atterbury in suspense about the deanery of Christ Church, which has been above six months vacant, and he is heartily angry.
