In this reading exercise the left-hand column contains a translation from the
German, in which the words are, to a great extent, arranged in the German
order, --- too much so, I think. The verb is placed at the end of the
sentence or clause without any apparent reason for this position, except that
in the German original it is at the end. In the right-hand column the same
words are re-arranged with correction of some other Germanisms.
