"Secret Memoirs: The Story of Louise, Crown Princess"
Henry W. Fischer
Instead of knowledge-insolence and immeasurable conceit; instead of work-sloth and swinishness; there is no justice, the conception of honour does not go beyond "the honour of the uniform"-the uniform which is so commonly seen adorning the prisoner's dock in our courts.
"Letters of Anton Chekhov"
Anton Chekhov Translated by Constance Garnett
Commit some act of genuine swinishness, so that you may put a little ginger into your life.
"The Goose Man"
Jacob Wassermann
