Note 54 — THE LICENTIATE VIDRIERA; OR, DOCTOR GLASS-CASE.

Walter K. (Walter Keating) Kelly translation

The reader will be pleased to guess the name of that insufferable insect which the Spaniards denominate Chinche, and with the English equivalent of which I am unwilling to offend his eyes. Happy, indeed, if he cannot guess; but then he cannot have seen either Seville or Granada, and one might almost encounter an acquaintance with the animal called Chinche rather than renounce them.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
