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. ... We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices.' Quote Right
Quote Left Whoever is open, loyal, true of humane and affable demeanour honourable himself, and in his judgement of others faithful to his word as to law, and faithful alike to God and man....such a man is a true gentleman. Quote Right
Quote Left A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe, she can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby, she can use her intuition instead of her brain, but she can't fold a paper in a crowded train. Quote Right
Quote Left The minute you try to talk business with him he takes the attitude that he is a gentleman and a scholar, and the moment you try to approach him on the level of his moral integrity he starts to talk business. Quote Right
Quote Left Sir Walter, being strangely surprised and put out of his countenance at so great a table, gives his son a damned blow over the face.

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. He said that there was nothing so vulgar as to praise people to their faces and, himself a gentleman, he could not believe that God was so ungentlemanly as to like it. Quote Right

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. He has a host of people around him to do the actual spending. He never sees it until he comes to enjoy it. His sole function, his chief pride, is the stately consumption of wealth produced by others.

Quote Left Trafikskadeanmälningar: Den andra bilen kolliderade med min, utan att förvarna mig om dess avsikter. Jag körde ut på vägen, tog en titt på min svärmor, och körde över vägrenen. Jag hade kört i 40 år när jag somnade bakom ratten och orsakade en olycka. En osynlig bil uppenbarade sig från ingenstans, körde på min bil och försvann. Jag sa till polisen att jag var oskadd, men när jag tog av mig hatten upptäckte jag att jag hade en sprucken skalle. Jag kastades ur bilen när den lämnade vägen. Jag blev senare funnen i ett dike av några fritt strövande kor. Min man mådde illa, så det gällde att få tag i en annan man. Den kvinnliga föraren fick hela frampartiet intryckt. Lastbilsföraren endast små skador på lemmen. Vittnet kallade sig själv för gentleman, men jag tror att det är riktigare att kalla honom för garageföreståndare. Ett hjul åkte i diket, min fot hoppade från fotbromsen till gaspedalen, for över vägen till andra sidan och hamnade mot en trädstam. Quote Right
Quote Left The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war. Quote Right
Quote Left Any gentleman with the slightest chic will give a girl a fifty dollar bill for the powder room. Quote Right
