Total: 422
Sentences of the Week:
1. He was, and is yet, most likely, the wearisomest sef-righteous pharisee that ever ransacked a Bible to rake the promises to himself and fling the curses on his neighbours. page 40
2. "Why, how very black and cross you look! an how---funny and grim!" page 52
3. He entered, vociferating oaths dreadful to hear, and caught me in the act of stowing his son away in the kitchen cupboard.
My number one sentence this week made me laugh, but I don't think it was supposed to be funny. It is such a strongly worded insult using biblical references that it seems hyperbolic to me.
