And when he had read it he was in a most vehement and lordly passion ; he tore it into what romance writers would call a thousand pieces ; that is to say, he tore it across and across ; and he used unprintable language, and he stamped violently and walked about the room in a violent passion, and almost frightened the poor colonel out of his wits. [William Pitt Scargill, "Penelope: Or, Love's Labour Lost," 1828]
當他讀完後,他處於一種極為激烈和傲慢的情緒中;他把它撕成了浪漫小說作家所稱的千百片;也就是說,他橫撕又撕;他使用了不適合印刷的語言,並且猛烈地跺腳,在房間裡激烈地走來走去,幾乎把可憐的上校嚇得失去了理智。[威廉·皮特·斯卡吉爾,《佩內洛普:或,愛的勞動失敗》,1828年]
