one hundred accents

“We corresponded. He sent books, and tried to teach me French by
letters. I was not very disciplined. In one letter I wrote two pages
without accents and then added one hundred accents at the bottom and
said: ‘For you to distribute correctly.’”

—Anais Nin, The Diary of Anais Nin, Volume One, 1931-1934, 1966.
