vf8-05 But what they want with your toothbrush is more than I can imagine
vf8-06 Give them their choice between a fine or an official whipping
vf8-07 Keep an eye on him
vf8-08 Those are my oysters, he said at last
vf8-09 They are not regular oyster pirates, Nicholas continued
vf8-10 One by one the boys were captured

vf8-16 Bassett was a fastidious man
vf8-17 There's a big English general right now whose name is Roberts
vf8-18 This tacit promise of continued acquaintance gave Saxon a little joy-thrill
vf8-19 I tell you I am disgusted with this adventure tomfoolery and rot
vf8-20 From my earliest recollection my sleep was a period of terror
vf8-21 But all my dreams violated this law
vf8-22 It is very plausible to such people, a most convincing hypothesis

vf8-27 Very early in my life, I separated from my mother
vf8-28 His infernal chattering worries me even now as I think of it
vf8-29 White Leghorns, said Mrs Mortimer
vf8-30 Massage under tension, was the cryptic reply
vf8-31 Therefore, hurrah for the game
vf8-32 It lived in perpetual apprehension of that quarter of the compass
vf8-33 Broken-Tooth yelled with fright and pain
vf8-34 Thus was momentum gained in the Younger World
vf8-35 Saxon waited, for she knew a fresh idea had struck Billy
vf8-36 We had been chased by them ourselves, more than once
vf8-37 He was a wise hyena
vf8-38 Production is doubling and quadrupling upon itself
vf8-39 And the Edinburgh Evening News says, with editorial gloom
vf8-40 With my strength I slammed it full into Red-Eye's face
