At the Colonial Exhibit I bought funnels for twopence. Jealous of a
friend. A brooch of real diamonds. Liable for damages. "To forgive
is divine." Written in a diary. The fidgety student was diligent and
frequently eloquent, but could not qualify for a surgeon. Surround
the circular table. The intense heat may prove injurious. During the
previous day the pressure of business demanded every minute.

The miner has sufficient gold for a guinea. The women's guild has
dispersed. Its members plead for purity and chastity. The guilty
officer often shows traits of nobility. This efficient player on the
guitar converses with brevity. Be not deficient in humility. Ancient
chinaware is very expensive. The staid donkey brayed. Reverse the
engine. Immerse the beef in brine.

The Japanese were encroaching on Chinese territory. The poacher is
under suspicion. The luscious peaches and the delicious ice-cream
vanished like vapor. Despise flattery. I ate poached eggs. We
chastise people for sorcery. The brood of pigeons soared above the
stile. Warriors wear steel armor when repairing breaches in the
walls. Bowmen boast of their archery.

Hearken to the parable of the sower. Soldiers were on parade during
the election. The heartiness of their welcome. The doughnut dropped
on the hearth unnoticed. We can imagine scenes in paradise. The
lightning blighted the beech-tree. The officer gave directions. A wry
face. A thorough examination of the skull. Choose a paragraph for
dictation. The pansy is called heart's-ease. Consult your dictionary.

Seamstress is feminine gender, while teamster is masculine. The
sheared goat chased the wheelwright across a rood of pasture to butt
him. Hallo! What dangerous coasting! They show a genuine interest in
the heathen. Diamonds possess wondrous lustre. These monstrous beasts
browse wherever there is no grazing. The captain wrung my hand. Buy
four bottles of glycerine.

Her pinafore was daubed with marmalade. The engineer made a final
attempt to rescue the drunkard. Ants are neither sluggards nor
braggarts. The volunteer will broach the subject. The auctioneer had
spinal trouble. The mountaineer wrapped his plaid around him. He was
niggardly on his bridal tour. The Indian sought to fight with the
tomahawk.
