Hewing wood exercises the muscles. Cycling for pastime causes slight
fatigue. A whole horde of smugglers. My victuals were withheld. A
sorry plight. He threw the magazine on the threshold, and seized his
satchel. He was fined for using foul oaths. My heart was, therefore,
sore with grief. Nowhere in the ravine have I seen moisture or
hoar-frost. Physicians wrap up in furs.

The hale and hearty sexton is threatened with deafness. The matron
of the hospital dealt with the rogue. The thief in tweed trousers
was severely trounced. Endeavor to learn grammar. The calendars are
similar. We received a summons to haul down our colors. The sun's
rays. Steer for the pier. Vulgar talk arouses the wrath of the
officers and guests. A sly, stealthy step.

The injured oarsmen moan and groan with pain but utter no oaths. A
gaunt Spaniard sought a boarding-house. He reproached his spaniel for
approaching the gray mare and foal. Near the tunnel entrance is a
lime-kiln. The rebels swore on the Holy Book. Through a clever ruse
we won a goal. A pewter spoon. The steward's muscles and sinews are
strong. A skewer fastens the roast. The Pacific and Antarctic oceans.

Their profane oaths, baneful and vicious language filled us with
horror. A fire commenced in our absence. The servants were almost
insane with terror. Portraits and precious keepsakes of our gracious
empress were seized by the traitors. Many rare jewels were buried
on the ocean beach. There is a difference between the juice and the
essence of lemon. A furious hurricane.

Swine wallow in the mire. The soldier on guard was drenched with
rain. He sheathed his sword. He wrenched the pistol from the
villain's grasp, and walloped him. In exploring the Arctic seas, we
heard awful tales of shipwreck. Select pieces for encores. I admire
the four-leaved shamrock. Panthers and hyenas are savage. Avoid
nicknames. Plaid neckties. The holy Sabbath. Worship and adore Him.
Restore all borrowed supplies.

Write a zero or naught. A practical builder hews stone from the
vertical walls of the quarry. The cargo of bankrupt stock has
arrived. The harvest festivals are announced in autumn. The chief
returned in triumph. The New Testament Scriptures. I smell camphor.
Great musical revivals commenced in Wales. The mosquitoes annoy the
actress. Sulphur is hurled from the volcano.
