Ví dụ

The general (for so we shall call him) who was a gentleman of quality of Valencia, gave Don Quixote Ms hand, and embraced him, saying: "This day, will I mark with a white stone, as one of the happiest I shall ever enjoy, on account of seeing the renowned signor (quý ngài lừng danh) Don Quixote de la Mancha, in whom the whole worth of knight-errantry is cyphered and concentred."
