Example Sentences

[…] I believe the minister was a good man, but when he bellowed: “And the Lorrrd said unto Moses, the Lorrrd is a man of war; the Lorrrd is his name. My wrath shall wax hot and I will kill you with the sworrrd!”. I wondered how many centuries of purgatory it would take to atone for such a sin."
"Except for their short, clipped accent and a certain funny some thing that they did, or rather did not do, to their r’s, they might have been born and bred on Pine Street."
