Av alla resande på skogen tar Karl IX priset i prakt. En dåtida högerpress’ utsände Galapeter börjar referatet inte mindre praktfullt: Lupo före kungen . . . hästar 12, med stofferade blågula silkestäcken.

Of all those traveling through the forest, Charles IX takes the prize in grandeur. A contemporary right-wing press correspondent begins the report no less splendidly: Galloping before the king... 12 horses, with upholstered blue and yellow silk blankets.

Förr i världen kunde det ta flera månader innan ryktet om ett fiasko, personligt eller konstnärligt, nådde medmänniskors öron. I dag är vi alla infamt påpassade av pressen, även civilbefolkningen gör värnplikt i TV-intervjuer, radio, gala-peterspalter och prat omkring allt och ingenting.

1964, Karl Gerhard, Med mitt goda minne, page 153:

In the past, it could take several months for rumors of a failure, personal or artistic, to reach people’s ears. Today, we are all infamously monitored by the press, and even civilians are conscripted into duty in TV interviews, radio, celebrity gossip columns, and endless chatter about everything and nothing.

Som tidningens galapetter gäller det att vara välklädd. Kollegan Benjamin Troff assisterar med flugan. Det är ju han som lånar ut den.

2021 May 14, Henrik Williamsson, “På spaning efter den bal som flytt [In search of lost ball]”, in Hallandsposten:

As the newspaper's gala reporter, it's important to be well-dressed. Colleague Benjamin Troff helps with the bow tie, after all, it's his.

The Hogwarts-like building, the old National Archives, made a grand impression.

Längst upp i Carlanderskas Hogwartsliknande byggnad, på Jörgen Månssons pampiga kontor.

2016 March 12, Göteborgsposten, page 24:

At the very top of Carlanderska's Hogwartsian building, in Jörgen Månsson's grand office.

Skillnaden är att vi här följer Systerskapet, i en Hogwartsliknande skola för unga flickor, under ledning av systrarna Valya och Tula (spelade av Emily Watson och Olivia Williams).

2024 November 15, Kim Veerabuthroo Nordberg, “”Dune: Prophecy” – tunga skådespelare i elegant rymddrama ["Dune: Prophecy" – a strong cast in an elegant space drama]”, in SVT Nyheter:

The difference here is that we follow the Sisterhood, in a Hogwarts-esque school for young girls, led by sisters Valya and Tula (played by Emily Watson and Olivia Williams).

havannamagasin

Compound of Havanna (“Havana”) + magasin (“shop”).

Värdinnorna äro små täcka, rödkindade flickor, som med rastlös ifver servera sina kunder. Men vi ha äfven en representant af det otäcka könet, en artig »nigger», hvilken drifver »affärer» i sitt stora 1:a klassens havannamagasin till höger om ingångsdörren. Han tyckes göra god kommers, ty i salen segla stora rökmoln omkring.

1897 March 27, “En lyckad basar [A Successful Bazaar]”, in Eskilstuna-Kuriren, page 2:

The hostesses are small, comely, rosy-cheeked girls, who serve their customers with tireless zeal. But we also have a representative of the less agreeable sex, a polite "negro," who conducts "business" in his large first-class cigar shop to the right of the entrance door. He seems to be doing a brisk trade, as great clouds of smoke drift through the hall.

[…] vid 20 års ålder med några års vana vid finare Cigarraffär eller Havannamagasin erhåller plats den 1 oktober om hon inlemnar egenhändigt skrifven ansökan jemte fotografi till Sk. Atonbladets kontor inom 10 dagar under signatur "Säljerska."

1898 April 26, “En Flicka […] [A Young Woman […] ]”, in Skånska Aftonbladet, page 4:

[…] of 20 years, with several years’ experience in a refined cigar shop or Havana establishment, may obtain a position starting October 1st by submitting a handwritten application along with a photograph to the office of Skånska Aftonbladet within 10 days, under the signature “Saleswoman.”

Vi sutto en stund och blåste tjocka rökmoln ur långa fina cigarrer, som min vän tagit på kredit i ett bättre havannamagasin.

1905 May 6, Jörgen, “Ur Jörgens memoarer – Excellensen, af Burén och Jörgen [From Jörgen’s Memoirs – The Excellency, af Burén and Jörgen]”, in Figaro, page 3:

Så nådde man fram till en liten uteservering, där det satt en hel del folk. De flesta såg ut som om de hade rest upp till Stockholm från Nässjö och Borås för att opereras och se Hagasessorna åka med Tuff-tuff-tåget från Djurgårdsbron. Och mellan borden gick två påfåglar, den ena vackrare än den andra.

1953, Kar de Mumma, Josefine och hennes bröder., page 29:

At last, one arrived at a small outdoor café, where quite a number of people were seated. Most of them looked as though they'd traveled up to Stockholm from Nässjö and Borås, perhaps for surgery and to catch a glimpse of the Haga Princesses riding the Choo-choo Train from The Djurgården Bridge. And between the tables strolled two peacocks, each more splendid than the other.

Det var för några år sedan som vi skulle åka hit med min mans blåa Amazon. Och då fick vi ett ryck - "ska vi inte klä ut oss?". Och sedan dess har vi kommit hit som Hagasessorna, säger Kerstin Svensson.

2011 June 19, Laura Zurman, “Trädgårdsdag bland kryddor och perenner [A garden day among herbs and perennials]”, in Hallands Nyheter:

It was a few years ago when we were supposed to come here in my husband's blue Amazon. And then we got a sudden idea – "Shouldn't we dress up?" And ever since, we've come here as the Haga Princesses, says Kerstin Svensson.

Minnet fanns kvar och när prinsessan Estelle här om dagen fyllde år och lekte i snön som en "Hagasessa" så hade hon en egen Malungspäls, designad och tillverkad av Malungsskinnaren Täpp Lars.

2015 February 26, Anders Mojanis, “Prinsessan i Malungspäls [The Princess in a Malung Fur Coat]”, in Dala-Demokraten:

The memory lingered, and when Princess Estelle celebrated her birthday the other day and played in the snow like a "Haga Princess," she wore her own Malung fur coat, designed and crafted by Malung artisan Täpp Lars.

Där brukar vi också se prinsessan Christina med sin Tord Magnuson, hon är ju den Hagasessa som bor i Stockholm, och är en självklar gäst på såna här kungliga tillställningar.

2024 January 31, Natalie Mourad, “Kungens syster smög in på festen på slottet – så lyckades hon lura alla [The king's sister snuck into the party at the castle – this is how she managed to fool everyone]”, in Svensk Damtidning:

We usually also see Princess Christina with her Tord Magnuson there; she is the Haga Princess who lives in Stockholm and is a natural guest at these kinds of royal events.

(Monarchy, colloquial) Any of the older sisters to King Carl XVI Gustaf; specifically Princess Margaretha, Princess Birgitta, Princess Désirée, and Princess Christina; or anyone who resembles them in some way.

Jag blir rörd när jag kommer hem till den pensionerade sotaren Gösta Malmström och hans fru Gull-Britt i Kungsbacka. När vi bestämde att träffas nämnde jag att ett foto på honom i sotarmössa vore trevligt. Han svarade att han inte hade kvar den, men skulle se vad han kunde göra. Nu visar det sig att Gull-Britt har sytt en sotarmössa.

2012 October 15, Ove Haugen, “Min kurpis skyddar mot smuts och sot [My Cap Protects Against Dirt and Soot]”, in Expressen:

I’m moved when I visit the retired chimney sweep Gösta Malmström and his wife Gull-Britt in Kungsbacka. When we arranged to meet, I mentioned that a photo of him wearing a chimney sweep cap would be nice. He replied that he no longer had one but would see what he could do. Now it turns out that Gull-Britt has sewn a chimney sweep cap.
