Go to page 44, of the current book you are reading, or a random book and type out the first 5 complete sentences at the top of the page.
Ok, first I had to google the English version as I'm reading it in German and now, jeez, I have to use a cut even for only 5 sentences! But I already noticed before that this book has very long sentences! :P
As there were not enough stable-boys to unharness all the carriages, the gentlemen turned up their sleeves and set about it themselves. According to their different social positions they wore tail-coats, overcoats, shooting jackets, cutaway-coats; fine tail-coats, redolent of family respectability, that only came out of the wardrobe on state occasions; overcoats with long tails flapping in the wind and round capes and pockets like sacks; shooting jackets of coarse cloth, generally worn with a cap with a brass-bound peak; very short cutaway-coats with two small buttons in the back, close together like a pair of eyes, and the tails of which seemed cut out of one piece by a carpenter’s hatchet. Some, too (but these, you may be sure, would sit at the bottom of the table), wore their best blouses-that is to say, with collars turned down to the shoulders, the back gathered into small plaits and the waist fastened very low down with a worked belt. And the shirts stood out from the chests like cuirasses! Everyone had just had his hair cut; ears stood out from the heads; they had been close-shaved; a few, even, who had had to get up before daybreak, and not been able to see to shave, had diagonal gashes under their noses or cuts the size of a three-franc piece along the jaws, which the fresh air en route had enflamed, so that the great white beaming faces were mottled here and there with red dabs.
Slept a bit better today. Well, I am assured that I can say that as I dreamed of Stark, with a short cameo by Alex. *g* And Stark even wore his GK uniform! Guh! And I touched it! *thud* We had nice talks about his work and I congratulated him on his wedding (In my dream he was married for a week. (Maybe my dream was one week late...?)) and then he told me a funny story about his mother (IDEK! LOL). But nice dream was NICE!
