In "The Awful German Language," here's the sentence:

Difficult? -- Troublesome? -- these words cannot describe it.  I heard a
Californian student in Heidelberg, say, in one of his calmest moods, that
he would rather decline two drinks than one German adjective.

from _Selected Shorter Writings of Mark Twain_, ed. Walter Blair (Houghton
Mifflin, 1962), 181.

Hope this helps.
