Everyone has a right to pronounce foreign names as he chooses.
I am writing in one of the Keepers' Lodges to wh I have returned after stalking & where I am waiting for the Prince of Wales. Quite the best day's sport I have had in this country - 4 good stags & home early!

When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.
We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us.
The rule which forbids ending a sentence with a preposition is the kind of nonsense up with which I will not put.
