1. So I went straight up and saw him, and he said "Well, what's the matter with you?" 2. It is difficult enough to fix a tent in dry weather in wet, the task becomes herculean. 3. I used to sit down and look at him, as he sat on the rug and looked up at me, and think "Oh, that dog will never live. He will be snatched up to the bright skies in a chariot, that is what will happen to him." 4. The barometer is useless it is as misleading as the newspaper forecast. 5. There was only one reputed case in the whole parish that case was young Stivvings. 6. We, in this age, do not see the beauty of that dog. We are too familiar with it. It is like the sunset and the stars we are not awed by their loveliness because they are common to our eyes. 7. We stopped under the willows by Kempton Park, and lunched. It is a pretty little spot there a pleasant grass plateau, running along by the water's edge, and overhung by willows. 8. You took five iron arches, like gigantic croquet hoops, and fitted them up over the boat, and then stretched the canvas over them, and fastened it down it would take quite ten minutes, we thought. 9. In the sitting-room, all was dark and silent there was no fire, no breakfast. 10. George pulled out his watch and looked at it it was five minutes to nine! 11. You see, it was in this way we were sitting in a meadow, about ten yards from the water's edge, and we had just settled down comfortably to feed. 12. And then he added, with a touch of sadness in his voice "I wish he hadn't been carving that pie." 13. For an instant I thought of ghosts it was such a shadowy, mysterious light. 14. I like work it fascinates me. 15. George said "Let's go up the river." 16. I believe that if you met Harris up in Paradise (supposing such a thing likely), he would immediately greet you with "So glad you've come, old fellow I've found a nice place round the corner here, where you can get some really first-class nectar."17. The hotel bill came to fifteen guineas and my friend, after reckoning everything up, found that the cheeses had cost him eight-and-sixpence a pound. 18. After a six weeks' period of drought, he would be stricken down with rheumatic fever and he would go out in a November fog and come home with a sunstroke. 19. He was never without a cold, except once for nine weeks while he had scarlet fever and he always had chilblains. 20. He had to stop in bed when he was ill, and eat chicken and custards and hot-house grapes and he would lie there and sob, because they wouldn't let him do Latin exercises, and took his German grammar away from him. 21. "Now, silence, please, everybody" says the hostess, turning round "Mr. Harris is going to sing a comic song!" 22. I woke at six the next morning and found George awake too. 23. We looked at the picture on the tin we thought of the juice. 24. I like cats Montmorency does not. 25. We found ourselves short of water at Hambledon Lock so we took our jar and went up to the lock-keeper's house to beg for some.
