"Take a glass of boiled water and put a pinch of cream of tartar," and he indicated with his delicate fingers what he meant by a pinch.

graf Leo Tolstoy - War and Peace

Here iss acres by der dousand vree to der man vot can off it make use und dousands vot liffs und dies und neffer hass a home. Here iss goot, glean air und in der shmoke und shmells und dirty streets iss a ravage of tuberculosis. Der balance iss not true. Und in der own vay der rich iss full off drouble drunk mit eggcitement, veary mit bleasures.

Bertrand W. Sinclair - North of Fifty-Three
