Very nice! I was able to get all but a few outlines; certainly got the story. Proud of myself as a DJS newbie to be able to read Centennial!
Excellent!
Which outlines you had trouble with?
Let's see …
the very first one on page 2, looks like "diabl-u-ment;"
near bottom col. 1, pg. 2: (in some context) "… held off the pillow ?_from-meet_? waiting in breathless suspense …"
top third col. 2, pg. 2: "… it ?mumbled? along in low motoring tones like the ?du-tent ackoss? of a profane thunderous storm …"
top third col. 1, pg. 3: " … things that would make the immortal gods ? keep if ??? her head ? …"
last of col. 2, pg. 3: "… golden hair and ?thmked? pleading eyes …"
Here you go:
1. "diabolism"
2. "pillow for a minute"
3. "mumbled along in low, muttering tones, like the distant echoes of a profane thunderstorm"
4. "immortal gods weep, if they did but hear him"
5. "timid"
Thank you, Carlos! I haven't been around much this summer. My computer crashed and burn and I got behind on everything. But thanks for continuing to give us new reading material every month. You're awesome!
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the new material.
I'm so sorry to hear about your computer. Hopefully you had backups! 🙂
Yes, luckily I did! Thanks!
I didn't do so well this time. Too many words I don't use very often, or maybe that I wasn't expecting, or may I found a key to soon.
