 Exemple de propoziții și/sau fraze: 

Rum wouldn't bring me there, where you're going—not rum wouldn't, till I see your born gen'leman and gets it on his word of honour.

(Treasure Island, de Robert Louis Stevenson)

“I found out an English gen'leman as was in authority,” said Mr. Peggotty, “and told him I was a-going to seek my niece. He got me them papers as I wanted fur to carry me through—I doen't rightly know how they're called—and he would have give me money, but that I was thankful to have no need on. I thank him kind, for all he done, I'm sure! “I've wrote afore you,” he says to me, “and I shall speak to many as will come that way, and many will know you, fur distant from here, when you're a-travelling alone.”

(David Copperfield, de Charles Dickens)

Then, he continued, then you'll up, and you'll say this: Gunn is a good man (you'll say), and he puts a precious sight more confidence—a precious sight, mind that—in a gen'leman born than in these gen'leman of fortune, having been one hisself.

(Treasure Island, de Robert Louis Stevenson)
