...years ago in Russian. Furthermore, your introduction contains many things that the average English-speaking reader may have trouble with. You say, for example, that the novel was originally titled Mashenka, with the accent on the first a (pronounced as in ask) and a palatalized n as in mignon. Even among my colleagues, all of whom pronounce mignon correctly, your instructions caused a considerable phonetic tangle, not to mention knots of rather nasty plosives and fricatives...

Still, the meat was tender, and he makes a fine shish-kebab ($3.25) although if you want Greek food you'd do better in Central Square...
While President Johnson dined on julienne of raw spinach and filet mignon forestiere at a $1000 dollar-a-couple Democratic fund-raising dinner at the Century Plaza Hotel, the protestors marched to meet him from a public park one mile away...
