Real-world Examples

But I own you may be right about the books, for there are many sorts of intemperance, and a library is as irresistible to me as a barroom to a toper.

Men jeg ejer, du kan have ret om bøgerne, for der er mange slags mådehold, og et bibliotek er for mig lige så uimodståeligt som en værtshus for en druknet.

The room was divided into compartments in the approved manner, between which were screens of ground glass in mahogany framing, to prevent topers in one compartment being put to the blush by the recognitions of those in the next.

Værelset var inddelt i rum på den godkendte måde, mellem hvilke der var skærme af matteret glas i mahognirammer, for at forhindre druknerne i et rum i at blive rød i kinderne af dem i det næste.
