indefatigable
By indefatigable perseverance the rector won the loyal attachment
of his parishioners. A skilful artificer executed this emblem. The
fishmonger's stall adjoins the poulterer's. The interpreter converses
fluently in several languages. In 1812, the Canadians offered valiant
resistance to the Americans. On a pedestrian tour baggage is a
nuisance. The Boers recounted their alleged grievances. In accordance
with the judge's decision, the sheriff secured inheritance of the
estate. Their allegiance to the sovereign is of great significance.
In pursuance of treaty agreements they relinquished all maritime
possessions. Ready compliance with requests.

cousin-german
The complainant and the defendant are cousins-german. He asks
exorbitant prices for his handiwork. His predominant characteristic
is affability. The auditor says the outlay for police is extravagant.
Our ancestors scarcely comprehended Canada's wonderful wealth. Cancer
is a malignant disease. The haughty aggressor gave his confederate
a significant look. The boatswain's testimony was deemed irrelevant
by the chancellor. The incessant entreaties of a wretched supplicant
were answered by a generous benefactor. I am conversant with all the
circumstances.

Samson's one lamentable failing wrought his irrevocable ruin. A
buoyant spirit sustained the adjutant when combating formidable
foes. The historic character of the Quebec pageant is accountable
for its success. The disaster to the relief corps is irremediable.
The premier's uniform suavity is most commendable. His disreputable
behavior changed stanch friends into irreconcilable enemies. The
distance to the fixed stars is inconceivable. Make few confidants.
The high-tariff party was in the ascendant. Bring only indispensable
necessaries. Sumac leaves are used in tanning. The Protestant divine
wore a surplice.

Their armament, vaunted as invincible, was readily conquered. The
starry firmament proclaims the omnipotent Creator. The belligerent
tribes offered a stout resistance to the marauders. Be not
susceptible to flattery. He inherits his ancestors' malevolent
disposition. Paraffin candles were antecedent to kerosene oil. The
delinquent debtor had made fraudulent statements of his resources.
The fortunate recipient of the prize is a proficient musician. He was
a munificent benefactor to the hospital. He evinced inexhaustible
energy. Were the city's officials wholly incorruptible? The ibex
browses at almost inaccessible heights.

"Conscience doth make cowards of us all." During the earthquake we
trembled for our very existence. Prolonged abstinence from a meat
diet impaired his strength. Such gross negligence is indefensible.
The tornado was irresistible. His penitence was more ostensible than
genuine. Clear enunciation aids in making reading intelligible.
In deference to his seniority he was accorded precedence. I feel
abhorrence for interference in politics by women. The eclipse was
discernible through a telescope. A slight, even imperceptible
difference. A gratifying occurrence.
