‘Jij maakte ruzie’ zei ze verontwaardigd. ‘Je deed zo onhandig of je nog nooit een kop koffie had besteld, je durfde geen enkel restaurant in en je liep te schelden op de Italianen en op de dom die je een suikertaart vond.’- “You were arguing,” she said indignantly. “You were so clumsy as if you had never ordered a cup of coffee before, you didn't dare to enter any restaurant, and you were cursing the Italians and the cathedral that you called a sugar pie.”
