I decided I needed that coffee-pot in my business. I reached over to get the coffee-pot. Then I discovered a woman beside me, my mother. She was the most meddlesome woman I had ever known. I had not tried to do one thing in three years that that woman had not meddled into. And that day when I wanted the coffee-pot--I did want it. Nobody knows how I desired that coffee-pot. "One thing thou lackest," a coffee-pot-- I was reaching over to get it, that woman said, "Don't touch that!"
The longer I thought about it the more angry I became.英文原著 · 《The University of Hard Knocks》

I'll be back to breakfast by that time. Now you know just how I want my coffee, don't you?" looking at Jane.英文原著 · 《He Fell In Love With His Wife》

And when the toast comes you can have some more coffee." A dread load was off his mind. He did not dream this thing. He ate the orange, and ate wonderful toast to the accompaniment of another cup of coffee. The latter half of this he managed with but one hand, though it was not yet wholly under control. The three eggs seemed like but one. He thought they must have been small eggs. More toast was commanded and more coffee. "Easy, easy!" cautioned his watchful hostess from time to time.英文原著 · 《Merton of the Movies》
