 Exemple de propoziții și/sau fraze: 

Mr. Dolloby—Dolloby was the name over the shop door, at least—took the waistcoat, stood his pipe on its head, against the door-post, went into the shop, followed by me, snuffed the two candles with his fingers, spread the waistcoat on the counter, and looked at it there, held it up against the light, and looked at it there, and ultimately said: What do you call a price, now, for this here little weskit?

(David Copperfield, de Charles Dickens)
