vf8-01 I do not blame you for anything; remember that
vf8-02 If you mean to insinuate -- Brentwood began hotly
vf8-03 The woman in you is only incidental, accidental, and irrelevant
vf8-04 There was no forecasting this strange girl's processes
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
vf8-11 The weeks had gone by, and no overt acts had been attempted
vf8-12 Here, in the midmorning, the first casualty occurred
vf8-13 They were deep in the primeval forest
vf8-14 He had been foiled in his attempt to escape
vf8-15 And twenty men could hold it with spears and arrows
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

vf8-23 But they make the mistake of ignoring their own duality
vf8-24 I graduated last of my class
vf8-25 They had no fixed values, to be altered by adjectives and adverbs
vf8-26 He was pressing beyond the limits of his vocabulary
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
