Accent Quote by Peter David
““My name is Abraham van Helsing. And I’ve seen more than you can possibly believe exist.” “I don’t recognize your accent, boy. Where do you come from?” “I’m Dutch.” “You sound more German than Dutch.” “My mother is German. I’m told I got the accent from her. But I am Dutch.””
