Looking for examples of 'lo and behold' usage, I've come across the following sentence:
I went into a bar just next to our hotel and, lo and behold, who should I see sitting there but Jim Gibson.
I have been trying to accurately translate the aforementioned sentence (especially the second part) to Polish, which proved to be quite a challenge.
Is there any name for such a construction (should ... but)? I would love to find more examples, yet I have no idea how to do that.
