Well, not really -- one part of the passage was an intentional misquote, the
other reveals a mistake in an online dictionary i did not catch until now.
My own unabridged version from 1880, in print of course, has no such mistake.
I leave him to your gracious acceptance, whose
trial shall better publish his commendation.
btw, the suffix "owy" means "from the" or "of the" in polish. Thus a taboret
barowy is a bar stool, and a wagon barowy is a car at the end of the train
that serves drinks. A barowy tester is a breathalyzer -- in which case i do
indeed pass!
