Mrs Jellyby Mr Clean (sl) – «мистер Чистюля»; честный и неподкупный политик An honorable or incorruptible politician. A man, especially a public figure, who adheres to the highest standards of personal and professional conduct (from Mr Clean, a brand name and mascot fully owned by Procter & Gamble used for a cleaning solution and related products). Mr Nice Guy – очень порядочный, дружелюбный человек A very decent, friendly man. Mrs Grundy – миссис Гранди, олицетворение устоев английского общества (ср.: «Что станет говорить княгиня Марья Алексевна?» А. Грибоедов, «Горе от ума») A term expressive of the prudishness of the English character. From the phrase in Tom Morton’s “Speed the Plough” (1798): What will Mrs Grundy say? that is, what will the proper-thinking neighbors say. Mrs Grundy now epitomizes the rigid and Puritanical-minded person who condemns the slightest departure from conventional behavior. A tendency to be overly fearful of what the respectable might think is referred to as Grundyism: The old woman’s a Mrs Grundy who objected to the young couple kissing in the park. Mrs Jellyby – миссис Джеллиби (персонаж романа Ч. Диккенса «Холодный дом»); женщина, излишне увлечённая общественной деятельностью в ущерб своим детям и дому As usual, Dickens drew upon many real people and places but imaginatively transformed them in his novel. The “telescopic philanthropist” Mrs Jellyby, who pursues distant projects at the expense of her duty to her own family, is a criticism of women activists like Caroline Chisholm who was a progressive 19th-century English humanitarian known mostly for her involvement with female immigrant welfare in Australia. Mrs Jellyby is obsessed with an obscure African tribe but having little regard to the notion of charity beginning at home. 115
