Examples

“Fernando de Diego (translator), La malica komizo (El malvado Carabel / The Evil Carabel) by Wenceslao Fernández Flórez, Chapter 8, Tiam la eminenta Saldaña uzis sian plej efikan rimedon: terure kuntiris la vizaĝo-muskolojn, subigis ĝis la mentono la lipangulojn, kaŝis la pupilojn sub la supraj palpebroj kaj produktis du nerezisteblajn plor-ĝemojn. Then the distinguished Saldaña used his most effective recourse: he contracted the muscles in his face in a frightful manner, drew the corners of his mouth down to his chin, hid his pupils under his eyelids and produced two irresistible sobs.”
