Sent 1: Hotel California My first thought: I was going crazy.
Sent 2: Twenty-four hours of silence (vacuum, remember); was I hallucinating noises now?
Sent 3: I heard it again.
Sent 4: It was a fine bell, reminiscent of ancient stone churches and the towering cathedrals I'd seen in documentaries.
Sent 5: And accompanying the bell, I saw a light.
Sent 6: Now, there were two things here that made ridiculously small amounts of sense.
Sent 7: First, the whole in-a-vacuum why's-there-a-bell thing.
Sent 8: Second, I was floating in the dark remnants of my broken ship, and any conceivable light sources were not within view; starlight is a distinctly different color and significantly less bright.
Sent 9: These signals were the heralds of my saviors.
Sent 10: The first words they said to me meant nothing.
Sent 11: I wasn't listening; I didn't care; I was going to live; I was going to keep breathing.
Sent 12: Next to those, nothing else mattered.
Sent 13: The recycled air tasted sweet in my mouth, and all thoughts that crossed my mind were cheap metaphors about life-giving substances and how breathing was like sex, only better.
Sent 14: (I reserved the right to revise this opinion later.) When I was done mentally exclaiming over my impossible rescue, I looked around.
Sent 15: The ship, it was odd and old, either so outdated or so heavily modified that I couldn't tell what make it was, and somehow, the crew standing around me fit the same description, a singularly atypical amalgamation of folk.
Sent 16: And me, I guess I was one more piece in their puzzle.
Sent 17: I was one more scrap to weld onto the rest, one more stranded survivor who was found.
Sent 18: I was now one of them.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg-10029.txt)
Sent 1: Late on the next Sunday afternoon Gifford had gone for a country walk which he had arranged to bring him round in time for the evening service at the little village church of Wynford standing just outside the park boundary.
Sent 2: His way took him by well-remembered field-paths which, although towards the end of his walk darkness had set in, he had no difficulty in tracing.
Sent 3: The last field he crossed brought him to a by-road joining the highway which ran through Wynford, the junction being about a quarter of a mile from the church.
Sent 4: As he neared the stile which admitted to the road he saw, on the other side of the hedge and showing just above it, the head of a man.
Sent 5: At the sound of his footsteps the man quickly turned, and, as for a moment the fitful moonlight caught his face, Gifford was sure he recognized Gervase Henshaw.
Sent 6: But he took no notice and kept on his way to the stile, which he crossed and gained the road.
Sent 7: As he did so he glanced back.
Sent 8: A horse and trap was waiting there with Henshaw in it.
Sent 9: He was now bending down, probably with the object of concealing his identity, and had moved on a few paces farther down the road.

Sent 1: Greta ran to the corner with her older brother Tony.
Sent 2: He had money for the ice cream truck in his pocket and she was very happy.
Sent 3: The ice cream truck had been parked at the curb waiting for children for a very long time.
Sent 4: The ice cream truck driver thought that no more children were coming to get ice cream so he started pulling away from the curb when they got to the corner.
Sent 5: They yelled.
Sent 6: They screamed, "Stop!
Sent 7: Stop!"
Sent 8: and jumped up and down on the side walk trying to get him to see them.
Sent 9: The driver of the truck saw them, waved at them and smiled, pulled back to the curb and opened his truck up so that they could see everything that he had for sale.
Sent 10: They were so excited.
Sent 11: They saw some new treats.
Sent 12: Tony wanted to try something new.
Sent 13: He got an ice cream sundae with chocolate ice cream and nuts.
Sent 14: He almost got a snow cone.
Sent 15: Greta looked at everything that the ice cream truck had.
Sent 16: She saw candy, ice cream cones, snow cones, and everything else.
Sent 17: It all looked so good.
Sent 18: But after looking at everything, she wanted to get an ice cream sandwich.
Sent 19: She got the ice cream sandwich.
Sent 20: She bit into it and smiled.
Sent 21: It tasted so good.
Sent 22: She felt so happy.
Sent 23: Her brother, Tony, was happy too.
Sent 24: He bit into his ice cream cone sundae and grinned.
Sent 25: They walked home with their ice cream and told their mom about how close they came to not getting their ice cream at all.
Sent 26: Their mom was happy that the truck had stopped for them.
Sent 27: She said that they were very lucky to have gotten to the curb before the ice cream truck left.

Sent 1: Charlie Mershone had no difficulty in securing his release when Parker came on duty at six o'clock.
Sent 2: He called up a cab and went at once to his rooms at the Bruxtelle; and Fogerty followed him.
Sent 3: While he discarded his dress-coat, took a bath and donned his walking suit Mershone was in a brown study.
Sent 4: Hours ago Louise had been safely landed at the East Orange house and placed in the care of old Madame Cerise, who would guard her like an ogre.
Sent 5: There was no immediate need of his hastening after her, and his arrest and the discovery of half his plot had seriously disturbed him.
Sent 6: This young man was no novice in intrigue, nor even in crime.
Sent 7: Arguing from his own stand-point he realized that the friends of Louise were by this time using every endeavor to locate her.
Sent 8: They would not succeed in this, he was positive.
Sent 9: His plot had been so audacious and all clews so cleverly destroyed or covered up that the most skillful detective, knowing he had abducted the girl; would be completely baffled in an attempt to find her.

Paragraph: (Fiction-stories-masc-The_Black_Willow-5.txt)
Sent 1: Nathan read the package of words in silence, his only motions the steady progress of his eyes and occasional replacement of pages.
Sent 2: Allan sat nervously across from him in a chair Nathan had probably upholstered himself, a patchwork design of fabric containing easily more stuffing than any other furniture item of the period.
Sent 3: At long last, Nathan reached the end and set down his reading on the table between them.
Sent 4: Allan leaned forward unconsciously.
Sent 5: "It's the best story you've ever written."
Sent 6: Allan exhaled and leaned back into the chair, his face relaxing in imitation of his thoughts.
Sent 7: "So," he asked, "you don't think it's a waste of ink and paper, a futile expedition into morbidity or literary debauchery?"
Sent 8: "Heavens, no," said Nathan, aghast.
Sent 9: "This is one of the strongest works I've read in ages.
Sent 10: It speaks to the deepest storyteller's instinct within us all, yet is entirely original.
Sent 11: My dear friend, you have done it.
Sent 12: Oh, they may rail against you at first; they may decry you as a heathen or a literary savage; but while those in power say such things, others will read your tales and see their true worth.
Sent 13: Believe me when I say that you will be read a century from now."
Sent 14: Allan, though dubious as to that possibility, felt some temptation from the compliment; mainly, it granted him the encouragement he still needed.
Sent 15: Nathan promised to show the story to a printer he knew and Allan left it with him, then walked home under the spreading maples with a smile lingering on his face.
Sent 16: He felt now that perhaps Nathan was right; although the man was somewhat peculiar, he had both an unimpeachable honesty and a certain propensity for insight.
Sent 17: Certainly, it was undeniable that the stories had an originality to them.
Sent 18: His mind's strangest fruit had ripened at last, and he found the taste less bitter than expected.
Sent 19: These thoughts and others like them filled his head as he walked the long road home.
Sent 20: It was evening, and the sky burned orange in the west when he neared home at last.

Paragraph: (Fiction-stories-masc-captured_moments-10.txt)
Sent 1: The side of Malaquez's parcel gave way to reveal a greenmunk caught in a sheen of solid air.
Sent 2: Bits of leaf mold flew from under his feet as he ran to greet a friend or a bringer of food.
Sent 3: Tasha oohed in awe.
Sent 4: I said, "Frodo's been visiting you, eh?"
Sent 5: Malaquez said, "Your pet?"
Sent 6: "Hardly.
Sent 7: He lives around here somewhere.
Sent 8: I suppose he was attracted to the commotion up the hill."
Sent 9: "Ah," Malaquez said.
Sent 10: "Why 'Frodo'?"
Sent 11: Tasha said, "A little fellow with big, furry feet.
Sent 12: What else could he be called?"
Sent 13: She handed the sculpture to me.
Sent 14: I almost dropped it; I expected it to weigh no more than a holo.
Sent 15: "Heavy," I said, as if he might not have known.
Sent 16: He laughed.
Sent 17: "My last piece was of four old Undersiders crouched around a trash fire.
Sent 18: Be glad someone didn't toss that to you."
Sent 19: He spoke of his art with the enthusiasm of a seven-year-old.
Sent 20: "Um, I should wait to importune you, but..."

Sent 1: Joey got a German Shepherd for his birthday present.
Sent 2: He had never had any pets before, but was always excited to see the other dogs and cats in his neighborhood.
Sent 3: Since his birthday was in June, he spent a lot of time playing outside with his new puppy, which he named Max.
Sent 4: Max and Joey would often run through fields in a game of chase.
Sent 5: They also liked to go through the small forest behind the house, making a game of hide and seek.
Sent 6: They never went near the lake because Joey was afraid of water.
Sent 7: One day, Max hid a little too well and Joey couldn't find him.
Sent 8: Joey spent the afternoon looking for his German Shepherd where they often played, like the field and forest.
Sent 9: Joey was a shy boy who often read by himself, and Max was his best friend.
Sent 10: After dinner, he went to look for Max one last time before he had to take a bath and go to bed.
Sent 11: He heard some barking on the next street, so he ran to see if it was his puppy.
Sent 12: Sure enough, he saw Max playing with a poodle.
Sent 13: The dogs were having so much fun.
Sent 14: Joey brought Max home, happy that he had his puppy back.
Sent 15: Max seemed to be happy to have his human by his side as well as a new doggy friend.
Sent 16: All summer long, Joey took Max to the poodle's house so they could play without having to worry about losing his present.

Sent 2: They knew that the library had story time on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
Sent 3: Their mother told them they could go to the library every Tuesday for their story time.
Sent 4: They packed up the car and drove to the library, ready for a fun morning.
Sent 5: When they arrived to the story room, there were lots of other children their age, all sitting cross-legged and ready for the story of the day.
Sent 6: The teacher told them they would be reading "The Wild Horse".
Sent 7: She began to tell the story of Majestic, the wild horse who could not be calmed.
Sent 8: His people had tried and tried to break him, but he was wild at heart.
Sent 9: Every time they took him to the river to drink, he would run straight into the water and get soaking wet!
Sent 10: He would splash and play until he was ready to go back home, where he would sleep for hours, having worn himself out playing.

Sent 1: Marsha loves playing with her noodle friend.
Sent 2: She had it for a long time so it is now a dark brown color.
Sent 3: When her mom first made it, it was white.
Sent 4: The night she met her noodle friend was spaghetti night.
Sent 5: Marsha's favorite dinner was spaghetti, which happened to be every Tuesday night.
Sent 6: On one Tuesday, a piece of spaghetti fell on the kitchen floor.
Sent 7: To Marsha, it looked like a stick man so she kept him.
Sent 8: She named her new noodle friend Joey and took him everywhere she went.
Sent 9: Sometimes Joey gets a little dried out so Marsha's mom told her to soak him in water every few days.
Sent 10: There were a couple times that the family dog, Mika, has tried to take Joey from Marsha and eat him!
Sent 11: So from now on, Marsha takes extra special care to make sure Joey is safe and sound at all times.
Sent 12: During the day she keeps him in a plastic bag in her pocket.
Sent 13: At night, she puts him under her pillow.
Sent 14: She loves Joey and wants to always be friends with him.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg-10116.txt)
Sent 1: But I think it is certain that most of the early Christians understood these words of our Lord's ascension and coming again in glory.
Sent 2: They believed that He was coming again in a very little while during their own life-time, in a few months or years, to make an end of the world and to judge the quick and the dead.
Sent 3: And as they waited for His coming, one generation after another, and yet He did not come, a sadness fell upon them.
Sent 4: Christ seemed to have left the world.
Sent 5: The little while that He had promised to be away seemed to have become a very long while.
Sent 6: Hundreds of years passed, and yet Christ did not come in glory.
Sent 7: And, as I said, a sadness fell on all the Church.
Sent 8: Surely, they said, this is the time of which Christ said we were to weep and lament till we saw Him again--this is the time of which He said that the bridegroom should be taken from us, and we should fast in those days.
Sent 9: And they did fast, and weep, and lament; and their religion became a very sad and melancholy one--most sad in those who were most holy, and loved their Lord best, and longed most for His coming in glory.

Paragraph: (Fiction-stories-masc-A_Wasted_Day-2.txt)
Sent 1: As his car slid downtown on Tuesday morning the mind of Arnold Thorndike was occupied with such details of daily routine as the purchase of a railroad, the Japanese loan, the new wing to his art gallery, and an attack that morning, in his own newspaper, upon his pet trust.
Sent 2: But his busy mind was not too occupied to return the salutes of the traffic policemen who cleared the way for him.
Sent 3: Or, by some genius of memory, to recall the fact that it was on this morning young Spear was to be sentenced for theft.
Sent 4: It was a charming morning.
Sent 5: The spring was at full tide, and the air was sweet and clean.
Sent 6: Mr. Thorndike considered whimsically that to send a man to jail with the memory of such a morning clinging to him was adding a year to his sentence.
Sent 7: He regretted he had not given the probation officer a stronger letter.
Sent 8: He remembered the young man now, and favorably.
Sent 9: A shy, silent youth, deft in work, and at other times conscious and embarrassed.
Sent 10: But that, on the part of a stenographer, in the presence of the Wisest Man in Wall Street, was not unnatural.
Sent 11: On occasions, Mr. Thorndike had put even royalty— frayed, impecunious royalty, on the lookout for a loan—at its ease.
Sent 12: The hood of the car was down, and the taste of the air, warmed by the sun, was grateful.
Sent 13: It was at this time, a year before, that young Spear picked the spring flowers to take to his mother.
Sent 14: A year from now where would young Spear be?
Sent 15: It was characteristic of the great man to act quickly, so quickly that his friends declared he was a slave to impulse.
Sent 16: It was these same impulses, leading so invariably to success, that made his enemies call him the Wisest Man.
Sent 17: He leaned forward and touched the chauffeur's shoulder.
Sent 18: "Stop at the Court of General Sessions," he commanded.
Sent 19: What he proposed to do would take but a few minutes.
Sent 20: A word, a personal word from him to the district attorney, or the judge, would be enough.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg_withoutQuotes/gutenberg-11197-0.txt)
Sent 1: Thursday, and Mr. Strong arrived with the inevitableness of dreaded events.
Sent 2: Bambi felt convinced that his coming meant the premature death of her new-born career, so, naturally, she was prepared for grief.
Sent 3: An element of amusement was added, however, by Jarvis's astonishing behaviour.
Sent 4: Ever since the first mention of Mr. Strong's name he had shown unmistakable signs of dislike for that gentleman.
Sent 5: 'It was the most remarkable revelation of his strange character.
Sent 6: Having totally ignored Bambi himself, it distressed him to think of any other man being attracted by her.
Sent 7: His references to Mr. Strong's coming were many and satirical.
Sent 8: This display of manly inconsistency was nuts and ale to Bambi.
Sent 9: She wondered how much Mr. Strong would play up, and she decided to give Jarvis Jocelyn an uncomfortable hour.
Sent 10: She herself was an adept in amatory science, but she was a trifle unsure of Mr. Strong.
Sent 11: However, she remembered a certain twinkle in his eye that augured well.
Sent 12: Because it was necessary to enlighten him as to the situation in advance, she arrayed herself most carefully to go and meet him.
Sent 13: She encountered Jarvis on the stairs.
Sent 14: He inspected her charming self, in a frock the colour of spring green leaves, topped by a crocus-coloured hat, like a flower.
Sent 15: She deliberately pranced before him.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg-10038.txt)
Sent 1: She led the way into the cheerful schoolroom, where big girls and little girls were sitting about, amusing themselves in the quiet of a long Sunday afternoon.
Sent 2: Several of the younger children ran to her as she came in, and stood holding fast to the folds of her black habit, staring up at the strangers, while she explained the kind of instruction given, the system, and the order reigning in each department.
Sent 3: Finally, she persuaded a little girl, only six years old, to take her dusky face out of the long flowing veil of the nun, and show how quickly she could read a sentence that Sister Winifred wrote on the blackboard.
Sent 4: Then others were called on, and gave examples of their accomplishments in easy arithmetic and spelling.
Sent 5: The children must have been very much bored with themselves that stormy Sunday, for they entered into the examination with a quite unnatural zest.
Sent 6: Two of the elder girls recited, and some specimens of penmanship and composition were shown.
Sent 7: The delicate complexion of the little nun flushed to a pretty wild-rose pink as these pupils of hers won the Colonel's old fashioned compliments.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg_withoutQuotes/gutenberg-11525-0.txt)
Sent 1: On the previous evening,--March 12th,--the monotony of the camp had been unexpectedly disturbed by the arrival, from the direction of Salt Lake City, of a horseman completely exhausted by fatigue and cold, who proved to be no other than Mr. Kane, whose mission to the Mormons by way of California was at that time totally unknown to the army.
Sent 2: The next morning he introduced himself to the Governor, was received as his guest, and remained in conference with him throughout the day.
Sent 3: What was the character of their communication is unknown, except by inference from its results.
Sent 4: When presented to Judge Eckels, on the following day, Mr. Kane exhibited to him the letters he bore from the President, and other letters, also, from Brigham Young, accrediting him as a negotiator in the existing difficulties.
Sent 5: To General Johnston he showed nothing; nor did the Governor, to the knowledge of the camp, acquaint either that officer or any other person with the purport of his business.
Sent 6: It was evident to everybody, however, that the Mormon leaders, conscious of their inability to resist the force by which they would be assailed so soon as the snow should melt upon the mountains, were engaged in an effort, of which Mr. Kane was the agent, to secure through the Governor, if possible, indemnity for their past offences, in consideration of acknowledgment of his authority.

Paragraph: (Fiction/mctest-mc160.test.17-0.txt)
Sent 1: I am very hungry.
Sent 2: I look for my mother.
Sent 3: When is dinner?
Sent 4: I ask.
Sent 5: Dinner is at six, my mother says.
Sent 6: What can we eat?
Sent 7: I ask.
Sent 8: We can pick food from our garden, she says.
Sent 9: I help her pick corn, beans, and peas.
Sent 10: The corn is yellow and white.
Sent 11: The beans are small and brown.
Sent 12: The peas are green and round.
Sent 13: I put the beans in a basket.
Sent 14: I put the peas in a bowl.
Sent 15: Mother brings the corn.
Sent 16: We go inside.
Sent 17: I have dirty hands.
Sent 18: I wash my hands with soap and water.
Sent 19: The water is warm.
Sent 20: My hands are now clean.
Sent 21: Mother lets me stir the beans.
Sent 22: I fill a pot with water.
Sent 23: Mother puts the corn into the pot.
Sent 24: She puts the pot on the stove.
Sent 25: The water boils.
Sent 26: Mary is my sister.
Sent 27: Mary puts four plates on the table.
Sent 28: Each plate is blue.
Sent 29: We each eat two pieces of meat.
Sent 30: I eat more corn than Mary.
Sent 31: Mary eats more beans than our mother.
Sent 32: What did you learn today?
Sent 33: Mary asks.
Sent 34: I can spell ten new words, I say.
Sent 35: Mary can only spell two words.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg_withoutQuotes/gutenberg-11419-0.txt)
Sent 1: As for the Italians, we know that Paesiello, who was a famous intriguer against his musical rivals, was a devoted husband whose wife was an invalid and who died soon after her death.
Sent 2: Cherubini married Mademoiselle Cecile Turette, when he was thirty-five, and the marriage was not a success.
Sent 3: He left a son and two daughters.
Sent 4: Spontini, one of whose best operas was based on the life of that much mis-married enthusiast for divorce, John Milton, took to wife a member of the Erard family.
Sent 5: In the outer world Spontini was famous for his despotism, his jealousy, his bad temper, and his excessive vanity.
Sent 6: None of these qualities as a rule add much to home comfort, and yet, it is said that he lived happily with his wife.
Sent 7: We may feel sure that some of the bad light thrown on his character is due purely to the jealousy of rivals, when we consider his domestic content, his ardent interest in the welfare of Mozart's widow and children, and the great efforts he made to secure subscriptions for the widow's biography of Mozart.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg_withoutQuotes/gutenberg-11642-0.txt)
Sent 1: The mighty fane, with its three massive towers, rises majestically over the red roofs of the town.
Sent 2: Its most striking feature is the great Norman screen, running up without buttresses or projections to the parapet and hiding the bases of the square, richly decorated towers of the west front.
Sent 3: The plain centre of the screen is the work of Remigius, the first bishop.
Sent 4: The rest of it is relieved with rich arcading of Late Norman and Early English periods.
Sent 5: The wooden spires which crowned the towers were removed in 1807.
Sent 6: In 1192 Hugh of Avalon determined to rebuild the Norman building of Remigius, which an earthquake had shaken.
Sent 7: To him we owe the choir and eastern transept.
Sent 8: His successors completed the western transept and began the west end of the nave.
Sent 9: So much money had to be spent in rebuilding the central tower, which fell in 1239, that the canons could not rebuild the nave entirely, but had to incorporate the Norman end by Remigius.
Sent 10: Unfortunately the axis of the west front does not correspond to that of the nave, which is too wide for its height.
Sent 11: The low vaulting is a serious defect in the choir built by St. Hugh, but of the superb beauty of the Angel Choir, which encloses his shrine, there can be no doubt.
Sent 12: In its richness of sculpture it is one of the masterpieces of Gothic architecture in England.
Sent 13: The interior of the cathedral is remarkable for the harmony of its style, which is Lancet-Gothic, and the dim lighting of the nave only adds to its impressiveness.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg-102.txt)
Sent 1: What a time of it Dawson's Landing was having!
Sent 2: All its life it had been asleep, but now it hardly got a chance for a nod, so swiftly did big events and crashing surprises come along in one another's wake: Friday morning, first glimpse of Real Nobility, also grand reception at Aunt Patsy Cooper's, also great robber raid; Friday evening, dramatic kicking of the heir of the chief citizen in presence of four hundred people; Saturday morning, emergence as practicing lawyer of the long-submerged Pudd'nhead Wilson; Saturday night, duel between chief citizen and titled stranger.
Sent 3: The people took more pride in the duel than in all the other events put together, perhaps.
Sent 4: It was a glory to their town to have such a thing happen there.
Sent 5: In their eyes the principals had reached the summit of human honor.
Sent 6: Everybody paid homage to their names; their praises were in all mouths.
Sent 7: Even the duelists' subordinates came in for a handsome share of the public approbation: wherefore Pudd'nhead Wilson was suddenly become a man of consequence.
Sent 8: When asked to run for the mayoralty Saturday night, he was risking defeat, but Sunday morning found him a made man and his success assured.

Sent 1: Tim had always a red bike.
Sent 2: His birthday party was coming up and he hoped that his parents would finally get him the bike.
Sent 3: When his friends came over for the party, Tim was very worried that he wouldn't get the bike.
Sent 4: He looked at all the presents and none of them seemed big enough to have a bike in them.
Sent 5: Tim was sad.
Sent 6: When it was time to open the presents he opened them one at a time.
Sent 7: The first present was not a bike.
Sent 8: The second present was not a bike.
Sent 9: The third present was the biggest one.
Sent 10: Tim knew if the bike was going to be in any of the presents it was going to be in this box.
Sent 11: Tim opened it and there was no bike inside.
Sent 12: Just as Tim tried not to look too upset, his Dad brought in the biggest present of them all.
Sent 13: His Dad had been hiding the present all along.
Sent 14: Tim opened it and his new bike was inside the box.
Sent 15: Tim put the bike together with his Dad's help.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg_withoutQuotes/gutenberg-11464-0.txt)
Sent 1: In 1878, Martinez Campos was Governor-General of Cuba, and Maximo Gomez was Commander-in-Chief of the Cuban forces.
Sent 2: Both parties were weary of the prolonged hostilities, and neither was able to compel the other to surrender.
Sent 3: Spain, however, professed a willingness to yield an important part of the demands of her rebellious subjects.
Sent 4: Martinez Campos and Gomez met at Zanjon and, on February 10, 1878, mutually agreed to what has been variously called a peace pact, a treaty, and a capitulation.
Sent 5: The agreement was based on provisions for a redress of Cuban grievances through greater civil, political, and administrative privileges for the Cubans, with forgetfulness of the past and amnesty for all then under sentence for political offences.
Sent 6: Delay in carrying these provisions into effect gave rise to an attempt to renew the struggle two years later, but the effort was a failure.
Sent 7: Matters then quieted down for a number of years.
Sent 8: The Cubans waited to see what would be done.
Sent 9: The Spanish Governor-General still remained the supreme power and, aside from the abolition of slavery, the application of the Spanish Constitution and Spanish laws to Cuba, and Cuban representation in the Cortes, much of which was rather form than fact, the island gained little by the new conditions.
Sent 10: Discontent and protest continued and, at last, broke again into open rebellion in 1895.

Paragraph: (Fiction-stories-masc-The_Black_Willow-4.txt)
Sent 1: Allan crouched over his desk once more, pen in hand and mind blank.
Sent 2: He contemplated a story, an outline he had laboriously constructed some time ago.
Sent 3: He had filled his pen and raised it, the nib descending towards the paper, before the sound came: the gentle, persistent tapping of the gnarled, primeval willow touching the window with long, insistent fingers.
Sent 4: His eyes awoke with a passionate, determined flame, though the only light came from the glutted moon.
Sent 5: Allan filled page after page, the words escaping from his mind onto the paper.
Sent 6: Where before they had marched in regiments, practiced in ranks and followed their leaders' commands, the words now escaped in their true forms, unhindered by any stricture.
Sent 7: He continued long into the night, until the eldritch orb had sunk into the waiting hands of the willow, raised perpetually skyward.
Sent 8: Arthur looked up from the results of a night's frenzied labors and looked Allan in the eye.
Sent 9: "What is this?"
Sent 10: he queried, indicating the pages he held in his left hand.
Sent 11: "I decided that… since I wasn't having much success with more – traditional – stories, I might see what sort of work I produced if I let my imagination go freely," Allan replied, somewhat less self-assured than he had been the previous night.
Sent 12: "What in G-d's name could have possessed you to do such a thing," cried Arthur, nearly raising his voice.
Sent 13: "After all I said the day before, why have you abandoned centuries of literary progress for some self-indulgent fantasy?"
Sent 14: He shook the papers at Allan, raising them like a belt above the head of a disobedient son.
Sent 15: "This is nothing but a glorified Grimm's tale, a miscarried child of Stoker, a creation less fit to be published than to be told around an open fire at the hovel of some peasant!"
Sent 16: He spoke the last word with such heavy intonation that Allan shrank back before the physical wave of sound emanating from Arthur's throat.
Sent 17: "Do you hate the modern system of literature?
Sent 18: Do you personally despise the works the Enlightenment or the progress made since Shakespeare?"
Sent 19: For a moment, Allan could hardly do more than shake his head.
Sent 20: "No, of course not… I– " "Then why," Arthur barreled on, "do you disregard them all and return to this superstitious babble, this morbid, paganistic drivel?

Sent 1: Mary loved walking through the woods with her dog, Max.
Sent 2: Max and Mary would go on all sorts of adventures together.
Sent 3: They really loved looking for blueberries together and then falling asleep next to each other in the tall grass.
Sent 4: One day, as Mary was picking the blueberries, she turned around to find that Max was not there.
Sent 5: She became worried and ran off to look for her dog.
Sent 6: She looked in all of their favorite spots...next to the stream, in their secret hiding place behind the raspberry bushes, and even inside the old cabin that sat in the woods.
Sent 7: But poor Max was nowhere to be found.
Sent 8: Nonetheless, Mary would not give up.
Sent 9: She kept looking and she found him not very far away.
Sent 10: He had seen a squirrel and run to chase it.
Sent 11: When Mary called Max's name he left the squirrel and happily returned to Mary, wagging his tail as he went.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg-10126.txt)
Sent 1: Here the omnibus came up, and I rode back to Manchester.
Sent 2: The whole conversation took up very little more time than it will take to read it; but I thought it worth recording, as characteristic of the people now suffering in Lancashire from no fault of their own.
Sent 3: I know the people well.
Sent 4: The greatest number of them would starve themselves to that degree that they would not be of much more physical use in this world, before they would condescend to beg.
Sent 5: But starving to death is hard work.
Sent 6: What will winter bring to them when severe weather begins to tell upon constitutions lowered in tone by a starvation diet--a diet so different to what they have been used to when in work?
Sent 7: What will the 1s.
Sent 8: 6d.
Sent 9: a-head weekly do for them in that hard time?
Sent 10: If something more than this is not done for them, when more food, clothing, and fire are necessary to everybody, calamities may arise which will cost England a hundred times more than a sufficient relief--a relief worthy of those who are suffering, and of the nation they belong to--would have cost.
Sent 11: In the meantime the cold wings of winter already begin to overshadow the land; and every day lost involves the lives, or the future usefulness, of thousands of our best population.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg-10082.txt)
Sent 1: Rolfe put down the little dog he had been holding, and went out into the hall.
Sent 2: The dog accompanied him, frisking about him in friendly fashion.
Sent 3: Rolfe first examined the bedroom that he had seen Inspector Chippenfield enter.
Sent 4: It was a small room, containing a double bed.
Sent 5: It was prettily furnished in white, with white curtains, and toilet-table articles in ivory to match.
Sent 6: A glance round the room convinced Rolfe that it was impossible for a man to secrete himself in it.
Sent 7: The door of the wardrobe had been flung open by the inspector, and the dresses and other articles of feminine apparel it contained flung out on the floor.
Sent 8: There was no other hiding-place possible, except beneath the bed, and the ruthless hand of the inspector had torn off the white muslin bed hangings, revealing emptiness underneath.
Sent 9: Rolfe went out into the hall again, and entered the room next the bedroom.
Sent 10: This apartment was apparently used as a dining-room, for it contained a large table, a few chairs, a small sideboard, a spirit-stand, a case of books and ornaments, and two small oak presses.
Sent 11: Plainly, there was no place in it where a man could hide himself.
Sent 12: The next room was the bathroom, which was also empty.
Sent 13: Opposite the bathroom was a small bedroom, very barely furnished, offering no possibility of concealment.
Sent 14: Then the passage opened into a large roomy kitchen, the full width of the rooms on both sides of the hall, and the kitchen completed the flat.

Paragraph: (Fiction-stories-masc-captured_moments-11.txt)
Sent 1: I had drunk too much, I confess, though we all had.
Sent 2: Somehow, Tasha and I began to argue the worth of Solevgrad jazz, as inconsequential a topic as I can imagine.
Sent 3: She had studied it in school, so she thought herself as an expert.
Sent 4: I once had a neighbor who played it constantly, loudly, and badly, so I thought I knew it better.
Sent 5: Malaquez tried to mediate, but I saw him as siding with Tasha.
Sent 6: So, I think, did she.
Sent 7: The subject shifted from music to Tasha's obsession with fame, undoubtedly by a leap that I made.
Sent 8: She had no choice but to follow.
Sent 9: (I do not remember any of this well, just now, nor do I care to.
Sent 10: Those who are truly curious may look at the last act of "Captured Moments.") I remember suggesting, with characteristic tact, that she add Emil to her small list of major accomplishments.
Sent 11: Malaquez glanced away, embarrassed.
Sent 12: Tasha looked at me as if to say, "I will."
Sent 13: She said, "I feel sorry for you, Nardo.
Sent 14: I'll see Emil home."
Sent 15: "Yes," I said, "Do that," and did not care what she did, or why.
Sent 16: Emil asked, "You're all right?"
Sent 17: I muttered something he must have interpreted as assent.
Sent 18: They both walked up to Emil's home while I watched the scarlet moonlight ripple on distant waves.
Sent 19: Disgusted with Tasha but more disgusted with myself, I finally realized she would not return that night and went into The Sleeping Flamingo to drink myself to sleep.
Sent 20: She had not come home when I woke in mid-morning.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg-10062.txt)
Sent 1: Dick was enraged to see how contentedly the men bore the irksome confinement, the meager food, and harsh peremptoriness of the beardless boys set over them as guards.
Sent 2: Most of the prisoners passed the time in cards, playing for buttons, trinkets, or what not that formed their scanty possessions.
Sent 3: Dick learned that all the commissioned officers of the company with Wesley Boone had been wounded or killed in the charge near the stone bridge.
Sent 4: Wesley had been with the prisoners at first.
Sent 5: He had been struck on the head, and was in a raging fever when his father and sister came to the prison to take him away.
Sent 6: No one could tell where he was now, but Dick knew that he must be in the city, since there were no exchanges, the Confederates allowing no one to leave the lines except women with the dead, or those who came from the North on special permits.
Sent 7: Then he visited the provost headquarters, and was shown the complete list of names recorded in the books there; but Barney's was not among them.
Sent 8: At the Spottswood Hotel, the day after his coming, he met Elisha Boone, haggard, depressed, almost despairing.
Sent 9: Dick had no love for the hard-headed plutocrat, but he couldn't resist making himself known.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg_withoutQuotes/gutenberg-11050-0.txt)
Sent 1: Elettra stuck the little slip of paper, on which the recipe was written, into her shabby pocket-book without looking at it.
Sent 2: She could read and write fairly well, and had been used to helping her husband the under-steward with his accounts at Muro, but even if she had looked at the recipe she would have understood nothing of the doctor's hieroglyphics and abbreviated Latin words.
Sent 3: The prescription was for a preparation of arsenic, which Matilde had formerly taken for some time.
Sent 4: The chemist would not make any difficulty about preparing twenty doses of it for the Countess Macomer, though the whole quantity of arsenic contained in so many would probably be sufficient to kill one not accustomed to the medicine, if taken all at once.
Sent 5: But though Matilde was so anxious to have the stuff before luncheon, she had a number of doses of it put away in a drawer, which she took out and counted, after Elettra had gone.
Sent 6: She opened one of the little folded papers and looked at the fine white powder it contained, took a little on the end of her finger and tasted it.
Sent 7: Then, from the same drawer, she took a package done up in coarser paper, and opened it likewise, looked at it, smelt it, and touched it with the tip of her tongue very cautiously indeed.
Sent 8: It was white, too, but coarser than the medicine.
Sent 9: She was very careful in tasting it, and she immediately rinsed her mouth with water, before she tied up the package again, shut the drawer, and put the key into her pocket.

Paragraph: (Fiction-stories-masc-Nathans_Bylichka-2.txt)
Sent 1: The old vaulted church was stripped down: there was no cloth on the altar, just a DJ's toolkit and his beer.
Sent 2: Through the dark, I could see three bolts left in the wall from where they'd taken down the crucifix.
Sent 3: A confessional too beaten-up to have been sold was shaking in a way that suggested activity inside, and where the pews had been taken out, a couple hundred people were testifying to the DJ's moving sermon.
Sent 4: Rachel stepped forward into the crowd while I took a moment to drink in the ceiling's blue-lit, shadowed vault and the light-catching haze from who-knows-what rising between the DJ and the crowd.
Sent 5: There was a terrific echo, each beat reverberating inside of the next, and the old stained-glass windows rattled in their frames.
Sent 6: On the dance floor, people moved with their eyes closed and their hands in the air.
Sent 7: I danced with Rachel for a while, but then something by the bar seemed to be pulling her eyes.
Sent 8: She told me that she was heading for a drink and slipped out of the crowd.
Sent 9: When she hadn't come back halfway through the next song, I glanced over at the bar.
Sent 10: It was just a little set-up where someone had stacked a few crates and brought something alcoholic to share, mostly beer.
Sent 11: Rachel was standing with a plastic cup, looking like she was having a conversation, but I couldn't see anyone else there.
Sent 12: The next time the crowd split, I saw him.
Sent 13: He stood in front of a blue light, so I couldn't see him clearly, but what I saw was memorable.
Sent 14: He wore a jacket of what might have been blue velvet, and his hair gleamed black against his white skin.
Sent 15: The blue haze seemed to stop just shy of his pallor, setting off his striking face without illuminating its details, and his wrists flashed white in the darkness.
Sent 16: He didn't move, just stared and held his drink.
Sent 17: The next time I saw them, his mouth was moving.
Sent 18: She nodded and he took her arm.
Sent 19: I watched them through the crush of dancers as they squeezed along the wall, and the feeling came to me that something was very wrong.
Sent 20: Saturday morning, I woke up and saw that she still hadn't come home.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg-10004.txt)
Sent 1: The first rule is parental.
Sent 2: The primitive monarchy is in the home.
Sent 3: A young baby cries.
Sent 4: The trained nurse turns on the light, lifts the baby, hushes it, sings to it, rocks it, and stills its weeping by caresses and song.
Sent 5: When next the baby is put down to sleep, more cries, more soothing and disturbance, and the setting of a tiny instinct which shall some day be will--the power of control.
Sent 6: The grandmother arrives on the scene.
Sent 7: When baby cries, she plants the little one firmly in its crib, turns down the light, pats and soothes the tiny restless hands that fight the air, watches, waits.
Sent 8: From the crib come whimpers, angry cries, yells, sobs, baby snarls and sniffles that die away in a sleepy infant growl.
Sent 9: Silence, sleep, repose, and the building of life and nerve and muscle in the quiet and the darkness.
Sent 10: The baby has been put in harmony with the laws of nature--the invigoration of fresh air, sleep, stillness--and the little one wakens and grows like a fresh, sweet rose.
Sent 11: The mother, looking on, learns of the ways of God with men.

Paragraph: (Fiction-stories/mctest-mc500.dev.11-0.txt)
Sent 1: Pester came running into the room.
Sent 2: He came to a fast stop when he saw the dog.
Sent 3: He'd seen a dog before, every cat has, and he used to live with a black dog named Henry, but he'd never seen a brown one before.
Sent 4: It seemed strange to him, but not as strange as it was to see Linda the brown chicken in the living room last spring.
Sent 5: That still confused him.
Sent 6: He thought he liked this dog, not because of the color, but because it was small.
Sent 7: And it was so hairy.
Sent 8: It was a like a mop that could run around.
Sent 9: He jumped on his favorite chair and looked down as Maggie ran under it.
Sent 10: She was kind of cute for a dog, Pester thought to himself.
Sent 11: He layed down on the chair and pawed at her as she ran in a circle under it.
Sent 12: He tapped her ears as she went by, and waved his tail like a flag trying to get her attention.
Sent 13: After a little more of this, Pester curled up in a ball on the chair and took a nap.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg_withoutQuotes/gutenberg-1168-0.txt)
Sent 1: Miss Anderson dined out, and preferred to suppose that she had no time to think until she was on her way home along the empty road round Jakko at eleven o'clock that night.
Sent 2: Then it pleased her to get out of her rickshaw and walk.
Sent 3: There was an opulent moon, the vast hills curving down to the plains were all grey and silvery, and the deodars overhead fretted the road with dramatic shadows.
Sent 4: About her hung the great stillness in a mighty loneliness in which little Simla is set, and it freed her from what had happened, so that she could look at it and cry out.
Sent 5: She actually did speak, pausing in the little pavilion on the road where the nursemaids gather in the daytime, but very low, so that her words fell round her even in that silence, and hardly a deodar was aware.
Sent 6: 'I will not go now,' she said.
Sent 7: 'I will stay and realize that he is another woman's husband.
Sent 8: That should cure me if anything will--to see him surrounded by the commonplaces of married life, that kind of married life.
Sent 9: I will stay till she comes and a fortnight after.
Sent 10: Besides, I want to see her--I want to see how far she comes short.'
Sent 11: She was silent for a moment, and the moonlight played upon her smile of quiet triumph.
Sent 12: 'He cares too,' she said; 'he cares too, but he doesn't know it, and I promise you one thing, Madeline Anderson, you won't help him to find out.
Sent 13: And in five weeks I will go away and leave my love where I found it--on a mountaintop in the middle of Asia!'

Paragraph: (Fiction/mctest-mc160.test.26-0.txt)
Sent 1: Shelly wanted a puppy.
Sent 2: She asked her mommy and daddy every day for one.
Sent 3: She told them that she would help take care of the puppy, if she could have one.
Sent 4: Her mommy and daddy talked it over and said that they would get Shelly a new puppy.
Sent 5: Her mommy took her to the dog pound so that she could choose one that she wanted.
Sent 6: All the puppies at the dog pound need a loving home.
Sent 7: Shelly went to every cage and looked each puppy in the eyes and talked to each one.
Sent 8: After each one, she told her mommy, "No, this isn't the one for me."
Sent 9: Finally, she saw a black and white spotted one that she fell in love with.
Sent 10: She screamed, "Mommy, this is the one!"
Sent 11: Her mommy asked the worker to take the puppy out so that Shelly could make sure.
Sent 12: Shelly and the puppy fell in love with each other right away.
Sent 13: Shelly and her mommy took the black and white spotted puppy home with them.
Sent 14: Shelly was so excited that she talked all the way home.
Sent 15: After thinking hard, Shelly had a name for her new puppy, Spot.
Sent 16: Now, Shelly has a new best friend and they play together every day when Shelly gets home from school.

Paragraph: (Fiction-stories-masc-The_Black_Willow-0.txt)
Sent 1: Allan sat down at his desk and pulled the chair in close.
Sent 2: Opening a side drawer, he took out a piece of paper and his inkpot.
Sent 3: After filling his pen, Allan looked at his paper in the orange glow from the lantern set back in the desk's right-hand corner.
Sent 4: His pen cast a forbidding line of shadow slanting across the page, echoing the inky darkness crouching in the edges of the lantern's struggling glow.
Sent 5: The only other illumination came from a lurid moonlight filtered through thin branches and clouds, casting its bone-pale glow onto the pine floorboards.
Sent 6: Allan unfolded another page, this one crowded with ranks of letters in tight formation from left to right.
Sent 7: The lines of letters stepped into their divisions, in the shape of a story's outline: the loose, dry skeleton of a tale lay exposed beneath their feet, awaiting tendons, muscle and blushing skin.
Sent 8: Allan reviewed the troops, all prepared to disembark, their task to form the tale of a young man returning home from Life Abroad to find his childhood friend a bride to-be, thus upsetting the apple cart of his life's plan, clarified – of course – by his very time away from her he loved best.
Sent 9: Although the concept was a simple one, Allan thought it had potential.
Sent 10: Besides, the public liked a good, simple romance.
Sent 11: Perhaps this will be more saleable, he thought and began to write.
Sent 12: They gazed at each other, lost in the rapture of love based so deeply within their hearts that they had never seen it before.
Sent 13: "What about Roger?"
Sent 14: she asked, knowing that the answer no longer mattered.

Paragraph: (Fiction/mctest-mc160.dev.9-0.txt)
Sent 1: Peter was a very sad puppy.
Sent 2: He had been inside of the pet store for a very long time.
Sent 3: In fact, he had been there for three months!
Sent 4: Peter had seen many other puppies find a person; he began to wonder why he could not get one.
Sent 5: He thought that maybe his fur was not pretty enough or maybe his bark was not loud enough.
Sent 6: He tried and tried to please every person who came to the store, but they all picked smaller puppies.
Sent 7: However, one day all of this changed.
Sent 8: Sammie came into the store looking for a golden puppy.
Sent 9: She wanted a puppy she could snuggle with.
Sent 10: It so happened that Peter was very sad and tired that day.
Sent 11: Sammie came to hold him.
Sent 12: Peter wanted to show off his bark, but he was too tired.
Sent 13: He fell right to sleep.
Sent 14: Sammie loved him at once and loved holding him in her arms.
Sent 15: Sammie took Peter home that day, and they made lots of fun memories.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg_withoutQuotes/gutenberg-11357-0.txt)
Sent 1: Grim disappeared upstairs himself, and returned about ten minutes later in the uniform of a Shereefian officer--that is to say, of Emir Feisul's Syrian army.
Sent 2: Nothing could be smarter, not anything better calculated to disguise a man.
Sent 3: Disguise, as any actor or detective can tell you, is not so much a matter of make- up as suggestion.
Sent 4: It is little mannerisms--unstudied habits that identify.
Sent 5: The suggestion that you are some one else is the thing to strive for, not the concealment of who you really are.
Sent 6: Grim's skin had been sun-tanned in the Arab campaign under Lawrence against the Turks.
Sent 7: The Shereefian helmet is a compromise between the East and West, having a strip of cloth hanging down behind it as far as the shoulders and covering the ears on either side, to take the place of the Arab head-dress.
Sent 8: The khaki uniform had just enough of Oriental touch about it to distinguish it from that of a British officer.
Sent 9: No man inexperienced in disguise would dream of choosing it; for the simple reason that it would not seem to him disguise enough.
Sent 10: Yet Grim now looked so exactly like somebody else that it was hard to believe he was the same man who had been in the room ten minutes before.
Sent 11: His mimicry of the Syrian military walk--blended of pride and desire not to seem proud--was perfect.

Paragraph: (Fiction/mctest-mc160.dev.6-0.txt)
Sent 1: Roger was a grasshopper.
Sent 2: He loved to hop.
Sent 3: He hopped everywhere by himself.
Sent 4: One day when he was hopping around he bumped into a frog sitting on a log.
Sent 5: The frog told him his name was Gilbert.
Sent 6: Gilbert told Roger that it had been a long time since he bumped into anybody.
Sent 7: Roger told him that since both grasshoppers and frogs like to jump they would make great friends.
Sent 8: The next day they were hopping through a field and they saw something very strange.
Sent 9: In a pond they saw a spider floating on a lily pad.
Sent 10: The spider was very sad because he did not have any friends.
Sent 11: Roger and Gilbert asked him why he didn't have any friends.
Sent 12: The spider told them that everybody would scream and run away when they saw him.
Sent 13: Roger and Gilbert told him that he didn't look scary to them and that he could come along with them if he wanted.
Sent 14: So Sam the spider said yes, and the three of them began a life time friendship full of adventures.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg_withoutQuotes/gutenberg-1027-0.txt)
Sent 1: Duane was hungry, but he hurried through the ample supper that was set before him, urged on by curiosity and astonishment.
Sent 2: The only way he could account for his presence there in a ranger's camp was that MacNelly hoped to get useful information out of him.
Sent 3: Still that would hardly have made this captain so eager.
Sent 4: There was a mystery here, and Duane could scarcely wait for it to be solved.
Sent 5: While eating he had bent keen eyes around him.
Sent 6: After a first quiet scrutiny the rangers apparently paid no more attention to him.
Sent 7: They were all veterans in service--Duane saw that--and rugged, powerful men of iron constitution.
Sent 8: Despite the occasional joke and sally of the more youthful members, and a general conversation of camp-fire nature, Duane was not deceived about the fact that his advent had been an unusual and striking one, which had caused an undercurrent of conjecture and even consternation among them.
Sent 9: These rangers were too well trained to appear openly curious about their captain's guest.
Sent 10: If they had not deliberately attempted to be oblivious of his presence Duane would have concluded they thought him an ordinary visitor, somehow of use to MacNelly.
Sent 11: As it was, Duane felt a suspense that must have been due to a hint of his identity.

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg_withoutQuotes/gutenberg-11200-0.txt)
Sent 1: You will remember the name of Garibaldi, the Italian patriot, who with Mazzini had been stirring up trouble for the Austrians.
Sent 2: They finally pursued him so closely that he had to leave Italy.
Sent 3: He came to America and set up a fruit store in New York City, where there were quite a number of his countrymen.
Sent 4: By 1854, he had made a great deal of money in the fruit business, but had not forgotten his beloved country, and was anxious to be rich only in order that he might free Italy from the Austrians.
Sent 5: He sold out his business in New York, and taking all his money, sailed for Italy.
Sent 6: When the war of 1859 broke out, he volunteered, and fought throughout the campaign.
Sent 7: But the compromising terms of peace galled him, and he was not satisfied with a country only half free.
Sent 8: In the region around Genoa, he enrolled a thousand men to go on what looked like a desperate enterprise.
Sent 9: Garibaldi had talked with Cavour, and between them, they had schemed to overthrow the kingdom of the Two Sicilies and join this land to the northern country.
Sent 10: Of course, Cavour pretended not to know anything about Garibaldi, for the king of Naples and Sicily was supposed to be a friend of the king of Sardinia.
Sent 11: Nevertheless, he secretly gave Garibaldi all the help that he dared, and urged men to enroll with him.

Sent 1: I'm here to tell you the story of a robot named Carl.
Sent 2: He came from a far away land known as Factory.
Sent 3: Carl was sad because he was missing a part called a tire.
Sent 4: He also needed a sun gatherer.
Sent 5: But, the tire was more important.
Sent 6: Once Carl got all these parts he could travel to his new home in the nation of Lab and the city of Office.
Sent 7: It was a tricky thing to get there with missing parts.
Sent 8: Just as he had given up hope Carl got a message from Mr. X saying the new parts were ready to be delivered.
Sent 9: This made the robot very happy.
Sent 10: The parts arrived a few days later and Carl put them in with 2 days of work.
Sent 11: After this Carl began to travel the last bit of his goal to get to his new job.
Sent 12: After this Carl took 10 days to get to Lab.

Sent 1: The cute red ball rolled over to the blue ball and said hello.
Sent 2: The blue ball was scared and went to cry to the green ball.
Sent 3: The green ball laughed at the blue ball.
Sent 4: Then the green ball told the orange ball that blue ball was stupid.
Sent 5: Most felt this was not good to do and so they punished the green ball by taking away all his air.
Sent 6: From that day on everyone saw the air-less green ball and knew that they could not do or say any bad things.
Sent 7: This is how the trouble started.
Sent 8: The purple ball used the fear of everyone to become the leader that they all feared.
Sent 9: The purple ball was mean to everyone.
Sent 10: Until one day the red ball spoke up and got all the other colored balls together and they took the air from the purple ball and put it in the green ball.
Sent 11: Sadly, the green ball had been without air for too long and was dead.

Paragraph: (Fiction-stories-masc-captured_moments-5.txt)
Sent 1: Search "Emiliano Malaquez" and you'll find he's a master of the "captured moment" school of sculpture.
Sent 2: Even The Terran Times has only praise for his work.
Sent 3: To compare his pieces to those of others is to compare mannequins to living models.
Sent 4: He accents the illusion of reality --I paraphrase his entry in La Enciclopedia Humanica --by doing life-size scenes in "The full round," never the easier frontal or three-quarters view.
Sent 5: Moreover, he never did portraits of famous people; his works were therefore the reality and could never be compared to it.
Sent 6: As is typical of his school, his pieces are sealed in stopboxes.
Sent 7: The shimmer of light on their surfaces always reminds us that we're looking at an instant snatched from under the hooves of time.
Sent 8: They say the cubes will outlast planets and suns, that when the universe dies, the works of Malaquez and his followers will be the last things seen in the final wink of God's eye.
Sent 9: Yes, Self, I am also bothered that this observation ignores half-eaten cheese sandwiches, incomplete insect collections, and locks of infants' hair, forgotten in closets, basements, and warehouses.
Sent 10: You see the inspiration for my latest play, "Captured Moments."
Sent 11: The mindwipe will take its creation from my future self --but time too often does that without aid.
Sent 12: The play's second act concludes with the last fight between Tasha and me.
Sent 13: I have disguised us in the play, and deleted one brief melodramatic interchange.
Sent 14: Now I will mention it, in case I/You decide to restore it.
Sent 15: Shortly before she left, Tasha said, "You steal from life for art, Bernardo.
Sent 16: You'll impoverish yourself."
Sent 17: I only snarled at her and -- My story leaps ahead of itself.
Sent 18: Let me retreat and retrench: One night during N'apulco's mild winter, Tasha returned to The Flamingo, saying, "Nardo!
Sent 19: Nardo!
Sent 20: Guess what?"

Paragraph: (Fiction/gutenberg_withoutQuotes/gutenberg-1004-0.txt)
Sent 1: Do not look for the Danteum in the Eternal City.
Sent 2: In true Dantean form, politics stood in the way of its construction in 1938.
Sent 3: Ironically this literature-inspired building can itself most easily be found in book form.
Sent 4: Reading this book I remembered Goethe's quote about frozen music.
Sent 5: Did Terragni try to freeze Dante's medieval miracle of song?
Sent 6: Certainly a cold-poem seems artistically repulsive.
Sent 7: Unflattering comparisons to the lake of Cocytus spring to mind too.
Sent 8: While I cannot read Italian, I can read some German.
Sent 9: After locating the original quotation I discovered that 'frozen' is a problematic (though common) translation of Goethe's original 'erstarrte.'
Sent 10: The verb 'erstarren' more properly means 'to solidify' or 'to stiffen.'
Sent 11: This suggests a chemical reaction in which the art does not necessarily chill in the transformation.
Sent 12: Nor can simple thawing yield the original work.
Sent 13: Like a chemical reaction it requires an artistic catalyst, a muse.
Sent 14: Indeed the Danteum is not a physical translation of the Poem.
Sent 15: Terragni thought it inappropriate to translate the Comedy literally into a non-literary work.
Sent 16: The Danteum would not be a stage set, rather Terragni generated his design from the Comedy's structure, not its finishes.
