Examples from texts

The same rustic neighbours, when any one chanced to ask, " How shall I find my way to the Baron von Brakel's?" were wont to reply: "Go straight on through the village, and up the hill where those birches are; his Lordship's castle is there."
Eben dieselben Bauern pflegten auch, fragte man sie: »Wo komme ich denn hin zum Herrn von Brakel?« jedesmal zu antworten: »Nur immer vorwärts durch das Dorf den Hügel herauf wo die Birken stehen, da ist des gnädigen Herrn sein Schloß!«
