And so with this byword about the letter ...

He was altogether absorbed in his subject, was absolutely and wholly a Frenchman; he did not even talk Danish with the same accentuation as others, and he had the impetuous French disposition of which the boys had heard. If a boy made a mess of his pronunciation, he would bawl, from the depths of his full brown beard, which he was fond of stroking: "You speak French comme un paysan d'Amac." When he swore, he swore like a true Frenchman: "Sacrebleu-Mops-Carot-ten- Rapee!" [Footnote: Needless to say, this is impossible French, composed chiefly ...

Worse still, when once we were going across the wind and later into it, I could not open my mouth at all.
