“Guillem Portell (translator), Fia Ludo (Joc brut) by Manuel de Pedrolo, Chapter 1, Ŝia korpo premiĝis al mia brusto kaj, alturniĝinte, ŝi diris: — Pardonu... Her body pressed against my chest; she turned toward [me] and said, “Forgive [me]...””
“Edwin Grobe (translator), “Mia Kontrabandulo” (“My Contraband”) by Louisa May Alcott, Ne nur la vireco ŝajnis formorti el li sed ankaŭ la belaspekto min unue alloginta, ĉar, kiam li alturniĝis, mi vidis la makabran vundon malfermintan al li vangon kaj frunton. Not only did the manhood seem to die out of him, but the comeliness that first attracted me; for, as he turned, I saw the ghastly wound that had laid owen cheek and forehead.”
