knit calm bathe gnaw tempt borne fibres pores argue syrup divide
walnut purple icicle balsam peddle hoarse knuckle glimpse Tuesday
I knit mitts. A walnut tree. Calm music quiets us. He argues in a
hoarse voice. We purpose using boughs of spruce and balsam for fires.
The dog gnaws the bone. He ate fibres of lean beef. Peddle maple
syrup. A purple ribbon tempts me to buy. We had a glimpse through a
glass of the pores of the skin. The long icicle was borne away. The
boys skinned their knuckles wiring stove pipes. Bathe my sore heel.

Add --ing to hug, split, clap, flap, flag, wed, span, slam, jar,

Arrange the asters in vases. They differ in color. I prefer a berth
in the stern of the vessel. Icebergs float on the sea. Support the
tired mason. Does he suffer pain? I suppose he dropped his trowel.
Offer him a lantern. Uncle is a lawyer. The puppy tears the towel.
Name five vowels. Potters mould clay. Canada is the largest country
in America. In size it is one-third of the whole British Empire.

The first of July is Canada's birthday. The flirt shirks duty. Mirth
is fun. I stirred a pailful of iced lemonade. I twirled about. The
pigeons bathe. Spangles glitter. Silver coins jingle. Stars twinkle.
Sprinkle roses. Luncheon is ready. We're hungry and thirsty. An ugly
dungeon. I sprained my ankle. An angle of the road. Great Britain is
the greatest empire in the world. 'Britons never shall be slaves.'

Turks are often cruel and savage. The creek murmurs under the grassy
turf. The boat lurched. Don't disturb the woman wearing the turban.
Boys scuffle. Take off your wool muffler. He stutters. Play a game of
authors. Shuffle the cards. The bridge totters. "Load the musket," he
muttered. A fierce dog wears a muzzle. One-fourth of the land surface
of the globe flies the Union Jack.

Madam's album contains several fine pictures. Do you enjoy eating
oysters? Enemies annoy me. Begin each sentence with a capital. Satan
is the enemy of the human race. He tempted Adam and Eve. 'Alfred
the Great' is a royal name. He was King of England many hundred
years ago; he taught his loyal people to read and write. The Danes
destroyed the English villages. The king offered battle and won a
great victory.

A plain is a level stretch or tract of land. Braid your hair into a
plait. A Scotch plaid is a shawl or scarf woven in different colors.
The twelfth month. Skilful doctors differ. Muffle your throat with
flannel. At the hotel we bought a sandwich and coffee for a nickel.
Welcome the handsome shepherd. Look after his welfare. Fulfil my
wishes. I have fever and ague.
