Lesson 94.

Dictation exercises.

The awl is used by all shoe-makers.  He said that he would do aught that he ought to do.  The man who stole the bale of goods gave bail.  The Bey rode a bay horse around the bay.  Deer break through the brake and brush.  He had just lain down in the narrow lane.  The horse with the long mane ran through the main street of a town in Maine.  Which of the pair of fine pears will you pare for the child?  The joiner’s plane will smooth the plain door.  You can rein your horse, if it should rain.  The kings reign wisely.
