Sivu 23 - J'aurai été, Tu auras été, II aura été, Nous aurons été, Vous aurez été, Ils auront été...
Sivu 130 - All the sounds that Nature utters are delightful, at least in this country. I should not, perhaps, find the roaring of lions in Africa, or of bears in Russia, very pleasing ; but I know no beast in England whose voice I do not account musical, save and except always the braying of an ass.
