Grocers sell teas, coffees, spices, almonds, but not salves or
medicines. The furrier exhibits a lynx. Thieves are dishonest. In the
library the owner of the vineyard aired his grievance. The thorny
brambles and thick foliage were hindrances. The Scotch terrier knows
the mail-carrier's knock. A weak stomach causes anxiety. Poultice my
thumb. Buried in a sacred isle.

Copy,--A baby's brooch. I bought two ladies' brooches. A lady's
blouse. Ladies' blouses for sale. Enemies' camps.
The rogue used Irish brogue. Slippery stairs led to the gallery. I'm
captain of the lacrosse team in the junior league. The starry skies.
Ladies' millinery is often expensive. The Scottish chieftain was a
stubborn fighter. He had a vague idea of escaping the scaffold. The
giraffe is scarred with wounds. A plague of gnats and flies. The
machinery was sold at a bargain.

Copy,--A jockey's horse. Two jockeys' horses. A donkey's travels.
Monkeys' tricks. Donkeys' ears.
Moderate supplies will not satisfy the eaglets on the rocky summit. A
porcupine's quill pierced the unfortunate culprit's thigh. Persevere
in boring the hole; but don't interfere with my gimlet. The severe
weather will benefit my niece. Notice the nicety of their speech and
the piety of their intimate friends. High ceilings. A hart is a male
deer. A fierce boar chased Ernest.

Copy,--Men's and boys' overcoats. Women's parasols. Girls' waists.
Infants' wraps. A turkey's feather. Turkeys' wings.
The exterior and the interior of the engine are polished. Most
babies' eyes look cunning. A sweet lullaby. I prefer a bicycle to a
tricycle. An elastic band disappeared in the frolic. The electric
light is a mystery. Employ cleanly and superior servants. Freight
traffic is heavier. Dye the arrows red. Ewes graze in the meadows.
Heather is purple. Water, clear as crystal.

He agreed to proceed slyly. Shackle the prisoner. The torch is
crackling. Use the syringe. He chuckles as he buckles the harness.
His eyes seem familiar but his walk or gait is peculiar. The horizon
seems ablaze. Negroes are sometimes lynched in the Southern States.
Horizontal beams. Be patient, the quotient is correct.

The brief preface shows sense. The whole surface seemed knolls, rough
boulders, and stagnant pools. The knavish pedlar carries biscuits and
ketchup. The vagrant twirls his moustache. A quaint bureau fragrant
with roses. Ignorant of Canadian customs. Pause for each clause.
Misers' hoards increase; their comforts decrease. Retrace your
footsteps. A mother's embrace.
