vf7-01 I think it's much nicer to quarrel
vf7-02 I saw it when she rolled
vf7-03 I only read the quotations
vf7-04 He was the soul of devotion to his employers
vf7-05 Out of his eighteen hundred, he laid aside sixteen hundred each year
vf7-06 You have heard always how he was the lover of the Princess Naomi
vf7-07 They ought to pass here some time today
vf7-08 I had been sad too long already
vf7-09 All eyes, however, were staring at him in certitude of expectancy
vf7-10 He had observed the business life of Hawaii and developed a vaulting ambition
vf7-11 I may manage to freight a cargo back as well
vf7-12 O'Brien had been a clean living young man with ideals
vf7-13 He it was that lived to found the family of the Patino
vf7-14 Straight out they swam, their heads growing smaller and smaller
vf7-15 You won't die of malnutrition, be sure of that
vf7-16 See the length of the body and that elongated neck
vf7-17 They are coming ashore, whoever they are
vf7-18 Soaked in seawater they offset the heat rays
vf7-19 Think of investing in such an adventure
vf7-20 Nobody knew his history, they of the Junta least of all
vf7-21 I have been doubly baptized
vf7-22 They wouldn't be sweeping a big vessel like the Martha
vf7-23 Joan looked triumphantly at Sheldon, who bowed
vf7-24 And I hope you've got plenty of chain out, Captain Young
vf7-25 The discovery seemed to have been made on the spur of the moment
vf7-26 They handled two men already, both grub-thieves
vf7-27 Eli Harding asked, as Shunk started to follow
vf7-28 Now go ahead and tell me in a straightforward way what has happened
vf7-29 That's where they cut off the Scottish Chiefs and killed all hands
vf7-30 And after the bath a shave would not be bad
vf7-31 Now please give a plain statement of what occurred
vf7-32 You can take a vacation on pay
vf7-33 They are big trees and require plenty of room
vf7-34 And Raoul listened again to the tale of the house
vf7-35 There are no kiddies and half grown youths among them
vf7-36 Oolong Atoll was one hundred and forty miles in circumference
vf7-37 McCoy found a stifling, poisonous atmosphere in the pent cabin
vf7-38 It would give me nervous prostration
vf7-39 She said with chattering teeth
vf7-40 I'll be out of my head in fifteen minutes
