Quote Left Utdrag ur skadeanmälningar till Skandia: Då det ej fanns något tvistemål om vem som skulle köra, fortsatte undertecknade vilket även herr Rose'n gjorde med sammanstötning som följd. Jag har blifvit öfvererkörd af en atemobil med 90 kilm. i timmen och vill ha pengar för de. Utsikterna på vägen va godt och 8 meter bred. Jag föste mi ko öfver vägen och hålte på att springa tillbaka då biltermoristen var öfver mig. Ett revben vräkte han inåt och tri av tänderna låge kvar. Ä de fasoner de. Nä nä. Srif mej till och lemna 1,000 kr annars blir de laga sak åvet. Jag trodde rutan var nedfälld, men jag märkte när jag stack ut huvudet genom den att den var stängd. En fotgängare kolliderade med mej och for under min bil. Jag tutade, med bilhornet gick inte, för det var stulet. Olyckhändelsen orsakades av att vägen krökte. För att undvika kollisionen körde jag på den andra bilen. Jag kolliderade med en stillastående spårvagn som kom från motsatta hållet. Jag körde över en karl: han erkände att felet var hans, för han hade blivit överkörd förut. Kon gick emot bilen: efteråt fick jag veta att hon inte var riktigt klok! Motorcyklisten avled senare av skador som han tillfogades på Karlstads Lasarett. Jag föll i vägbanan. Min man fortsatte med sin moped och körde sedan i diket. Om jag fick hjälp eller om jag reste mig själv minns jag inte. Men när min man kom tillbaka och fick se att jag överlevt blev chocken för svår för honom så han föll ner avsvimmad. Jag stannade vid övergångstället då motparten körde mej i stjärten utan min tillåtelse. Vittnet kallade sig själv för gentleman, men jag tror det är riktigare att kalla honom för garageföreståndare. Det fanns en mängd åskådare men inga vittnen... Min fru har stortvätt på tisdagarna och när jag återvände hem på kvällen fick jag vindrutan och två tänder utslagna. Den andra vagnen kolliderade med min utan att giva någon som helst varning om sina avsikter. Min man mådde illa, så det gällde att få tag i en annan man... Jag vet inte vems felet var att vi båda fumlade, tvekade och kolliderade... Den kvinnliga föraren fick hela frampartiet intryckt. Olyckan berodde på att vägen svängde och var bevuxen med buskar och träd. Vid kollisionstillfället befann jag mig i sittande ställning på Dr Lindgrens toilett, varför jag icke kunde göra något för att avvärja skadan. Den döde kom cycklande från vänster... Quote Right

Quote Left 'At this festive season of the year, Mr Scrooge,' said the gentleman, taking up a pen, 'it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time. ...

Quote Left When I was young I had an elderly friend who used often to ask me to stay with him in the country. He was a religious man and he read prayers to the assembled household every morning. But he had crossed out in pencil all the passages that praised God.

Quote Left The Landlord is a gentleman who does not earn his wealth. He has a host of agents and clerks that receive for him. He does not even take the trouble to spend his wealth.
