1841 September 27, “Hvarjehanda [Miscellanea]”, in Phoneix, page 4:Denna otidiga skadeglädje bekom honom dock ganska illa, alldenstund samma person, som räddat Levrault, fattade den skrattande gynnaren i kragen och doppade honom ett par gånger rätt allvarsamt i kanalen, under lifliga bifallsrop af den på kajen församlade folkmängden. Lungvåt och snopen packade sig sedan sprätten, efter erhållet dop, under gatpojkarnes larm och speord från skådeplatsen.- This untimely delight in another's misfortune did him little good, for the same person who saved Levrault seized the laughing rascal by the collar and dipped him several times quite earnestly in the canal, to the lively cheers of the crowd assembled on the quay. Soaked to the skin and crestfallen, the dandy then departed from the scene of the spectacle, amid the clamor and jeers of the street urchins.
