   • Ĉe la koro de la Tero (At the Earth’s Core) by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Chapter 4,

     Ekzistas popolo [...] en kiu la viroj montras sian preferon al ŝatata virino per klabobato sur la kapon. Kompare kun tiu metodo, oni povus nomi subtila la amindumadon de Huĝa.

     There is a race of men [...] who indicate their preference for the lady of their affections by banging her over the head with a bludgeon. By comparison with this method Hooja's lovemaking might be called thinly veiled.

   • Ruth McGrath (translator), Sep Junaj Aŭstralianoj (Seven Little Australians) by Ethel Turner, Chapter 7,

     Ĝuste nun, sub la direktado de sia amikino, ŝi eklernis pri la ravaj misteroj de amindumado, kaj provizore ĝi tute plenigis ŝian iom sencelan vivon.

     Just now, under her friend’s tutelage, she was being inducted into the delightful mysteries of sweethearting, and for the time, it quite filled her somewhat purposeless young life.
