lit.
За всякое благодеяние, полученное из рук филантропов, надо платить если не деньгами, то унижением. Как у Цезаря был Брут, так и здесь каждая благотворительная койка была сопряжена с обязательной ванной, а каждый ломоть хлеба отравлен бесцеремонным залезанием в душу.
If not in coin you must pay in humiliation of spirit for every benefit received at the hands of philanthropy. As Caesar had his Brutus, every bed of charity must have its toll of a bath, every loaf of bread its compensation of a private and personal inquisition
(O. Henry, Пер. А. Горлина)
