| at low water | на мели ("It is very customary for pawnbrokers in England, when they take a watch, to scratch the numbers of the ticket with a pin-point upon the inside of the case. (...) There are no less than four such numbers visible to my lens on the inside of this case. Inference – that your brother was often at low water." (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) ART Vancouver) |
