 Exemple de propoziții și/sau fraze: 

When she had administered these restoratives, as I was still quite hysterical, and unable to control my sobs, she put me on the sofa, with a shawl under my head, and the handkerchief from her own head under my feet, lest I should sully the cover; and then, sitting herself down behind the green fan or screen I have already mentioned, so that I could not see her face, ejaculated at intervals, Mercy on us! letting those exclamations off like minute guns.

(David Copperfield, de Charles Dickens)
