Горе-разговорники

Вот и произведения:
- M.H. Longson, ‘Ballad of Domestic Calamity’. «“Our postillion has been struck by lightning” (опорная строка баллады) is one of the ‘useful common phrases’ appearing in a Dutch manual on the speaking of English.»
- Tom, Dick and Harriet, 1.4: ‘The Last Time I Saw Paris’. В начале эпизода Дик изучает англо-французский разговорник и пробует на вкус фразу «Au secours ! Mon père a été frappé par la foudre».
- James Grover Thurber, ‘There's No Place Like Home’. «If you are thinking about going abroad and want to preserve your ardour for travelling, don't pore over a little book called Collins' Pocket Interpreters: France, which I picked up in London.»
