A Tramp Abroad, Appendix D, Die schreckliche deutsche Sprache (The Awful German Language)
Original engl.: "I went often to look at the collection of curiosities in Heidelberg Castle, and one day I surprised the keeper of it with my German. I spoke entirely in that language. He was greatly interested; and after I had talked a while he said my German was very rare, possibly a »unique«; and wanted to add it to his museum."
