5. Comparing statements of “Continental gentleman” and Englishman

“Continental gentleman”: “This view rather
reminds me of Utrecht, where the peace treaty
concluding the War of Spanish Succession was
signed on the 11th April, 1713. The river there,
however, recalls the Guadalquivir, which rises in
the Suerra de Cazoria and flows south-west to the
Atlantic ocean…”
Englishman: "It's pretty, isn’t it?”
