EXERCISES IN PARSING.

Julia injured her book, and soiled mine: hers is better than mine. My

friend sacrificed his fortune to secure yours: his deeds deserve reward;

yours merit disgrace. Henry's labors are past; thine are to come. We

leave your forests of beasts for ours of men. My sword and yours are

kin.

NOTE. _She_ understood, is nominative to _soiled_, in the first example;

and the substantive part of _mine_, after than, is nom. to _is_,

understood: Rule 35. The verbs _to secure_ and _to come_ have no

nominative. The pronouns _mine, my, yours, thine, we, your, ours, my_,

and _yours_, personate nouns understood.
