Prompts:


vf6-01 He cried, and swung the club wildly
vf6-02 She turned, fearing that Jacques might see what was in her face
vf6-03 They were following the shore of a lake
vf6-04 The wolf-dog thrust his gaunt muzzle toward him
vf6-05 From now on we're pals
vf6-06 He says he bought him of Jacques Le Beau
vf6-07 How much was it
vf6-08 Youth had come back to her, freed from the yoke of oppression
vf6-09 It was not a large lake, and almost round
vf6-10 Its diameter was not more than two hundred yards
vf6-11 It drowned all sound that brute agony and death may have made
vf6-12 Fresh cases, still able to walk, they clustered about the spokesman
vf6-13 Between him and the beach was the cane-grass fence of the compound
vf6-14 Besides, he was paid one case of tobacco per head
vf6-15 They die out of spite
vf6-16 The other felt a sudden wave of irritation rush through him
vf6-17 Oppressive as the heat had been, it was now even more oppressive
vf6-18 The ringing of the big bell aroused him
vf6-19 At first he puzzled over something untoward he was sure had happened
vf6-20 A dead man is of no use on a plantation
vf6-21 I don't know why you're here at all
vf6-22 What part of the United States is your home
vf6-23 My, I'm almost homesick for it already
vf6-24 She nodded, and her eyes grew soft and moist
vf6-25 I was brought up the way most girls in Hawaii are brought up
vf6-26 That came before my A B C's
vf6-27 It was the same way with our revolvers and rifles
vf6-28 But it contributed to the smash
vf6-29 The last one I knew was an overseer
vf6-30 Do you know any good land around here
vf6-31 The Resident Commissioner is away in Australia
vf6-32 I cannot follow you, she said
vf6-33 I never allow what can't be changed to annoy me
vf6-34 Why, the average review is more nauseating than cod liver oil
vf6-35 His voice was passionately rebellious
vf6-36 Don't you see I hate you
vf6-37 So Hughie and I did the managing ourselves
vf6-38 It happened to him at the Gallina Society in Oakland one afternoon
vf6-39 He cried in such genuine dismay that she broke into hearty laughter
vf6-40 Wash your hands of me
