Joe owes them-the debt, so we-have given them-the cheque. The thing to-do was to-make them weigh the coal. They both say-the coal was weighed. Who-came to-take-the load to-the depot?

We-shall check-the damage to-the boat.

The tall lad was paid a day to-watch-the shop. The lake was calm, so we came back on-the boat. It-was an odd thing to-do, but it-was a shame to-laugh at-him. Which of-them saw-the lad take-the package back to-the shop? Paul may manage to show them the way to-do-the job. We-know they-will-be at-the game, but-they-will come back for-the show. We-think they take too-long to-do-the job. We-have usually given-the job to-them, but-we-may make a change. They-will pay for-the damage to-the tank, but-we-think they-will ask for a delay. We-had no cash to pay him at-the shop, so a cheque was given to him. Pam had to-come a long way, but saw-the game.

They-will-be at-the show which-will-be given on 29^th-May. It-will-be on a Monday. We-shall get enough cash at-the bank to pay both of-them for-the job. Usually we engage a bungalow at-the lake for a month. The wage they paid was too low, so Tom had to-give up-the job. We-know-the debt was unpaid, but-they had no cash.  Who-will aid Anna to-get-the mail for Bath off at two? We-think they-will take-the boat for Canada on-Monday, 12^th May. The envelope for-the mail was on top of-the pad. We-shall-have to ask him to pay for-the damage to-the gate. We saw them at-the game, which-was on-Monday, the tenth of-the-month.

The bill ought-to-be paid if-we owe them for-the wood. May-we see-the book which-was to-be given to him? We owe him an apology for-the delay in mailing-the cheque. We ought to put-the money in-the bank. We shall do-so if-we-can. May-we-have a copy of-the bill for-the wood we bought on-the fifth? The name of-the book Jessie bought was “Making a Living”. We-shall go to-the dock on-Monday to-take a look at-the big ship. If-we-can get each of-them to-give, we shall-have enough money to feed-the family for a month. We-think we ought to-make an appeal for aid. Do-we owe him a fee for doing-the job?

If-they can get away, they-will come to see-the game. They-will-have to-leave at two, if-they wish to see it. We-shall-have to pay for-the damage to-the boat. Money for food was being given to-the family monthly. If-we-can aid them in-any-way, we ought to-do so. It-was too cool for bathing at-the beach, so they came back to-the pool. They-will-be leaving for Canada on-the tenth of-the-month. They-will go to Winnipeg on-the tenth. The lady saw a copy of-the book “Looking at Asia”.

We-shall-be lucky if-we get any money for doing-the job. Maybe-the lunch can-be given on a different day. A talk was to-be given on-the topic “Feeding-the Family”. Eva was talking of going to Manitoba in May. If-they wish to-make any money, they-will-have to-do-the job in a different way. The wood was too thick. It-was an inch in width, so we-had to ship it back. We wish to know if it-will make any difference to-them if-we ship-the load of coal today. The change may-be put into effect in May. We-have-no wish to-make a change which-will affect so-many, but they-have a different way of looking at it. If-we-can think of any-way of-doing-the thing in a different way, we-shall ask-them to-come in to see us.

To-our relief, they came early. We-are leaving today, and-we should reach Winnipeg in a day or-two. Who-will-be going to see-the Army and-Navy game? If-we wish to-get to-the game early, we should-be ready in an hour. Ask Jack for a rug. Ray and Ruth are reading-the book “The Arm of-the Law”. We wrote to-them, asking them, to-rush-the job, and-they say they-will-have-it ready in a month. We-may-be wrong, and-if-we-are, we-shall readily give him our apology. The cheque was put in an airmail envelope, and it-should reach them today.

 So far, we-have had a fair share of luck. We-do a thorough repair job at our shop. We-can fetch your car and leave it at-your door. We rang-the bell, but nobody came to-the door. A year-ago Jim bought-the ranch belonging to-the Perry family. The large ridge at Red Gap was rich in ore. It-will-be easy to-make an error and take-the wrong road. We-fear we-shall-have to borrow money if-we-are to-carry on at-the factory. We should add enough money to-the fee we give him to pay for-the fare. The jury may think-the youth should get money for-the injury. We-have thanked him for-the-money we-had to borrow. They-may thank-the judge, whose talk was put on-the air, for-the change in factory law.

Our party should-be in Rome on-the fourth of-the-month. We-shall get back to Canada in May. The usual charge for parking-the car at-the garage was. We saw a copy of-the rare book in-the shop window. It-should pay-the firm to-go on-the air daily. Paul King was put in-charge of-the factory early in March. We-can put a mark in red at-the bottom of-each page we check.

Mary and Jack are to-be married early in March. We wish to-go to-the wedding, but they-may-be married in Rome, and it-will-be too far away. We-shall ask-the lawyer to-talk for an hour. They-will take a lorry load of coal to-the shop today or tomorrow. Wrap-the package and mail it today. We-think-we ought to insure-the package. We-have given-them no authority to change-the policy of-the firm. We get our milk at-the dairy farm, and-we usually pay our bill monthly. The living room was at-the rear of-the shop. The door was too narrow, and-we-had to remove it to-get-the large package into-the room. Mary, whose memory was poor, read a different page of-the book each day. We-can change-the collar on-the fur wrap today, and-the lady may come in for-it tomorrow.

The village was a mile beyond-the mouth of-the Wye. Do-you know when Roy and Dinah are going to Cuba? I-know-the boy would like to-go with-them. Why was-the charge put on-my March bill? Do-you know when-the ship may leave? It-will go out with-the tide at five. How far do-you have to-go? Do-you wish to-come with me? You-should write your name in ink at-the bottom of-the form.

I-think you-will-have to buy a coil for-your car. If-you-can arrive at five you-will-be in-time for-the talk. I-have-no wish to annoy you, but I-think-the debt should-be paid. I admire-the type of youth who-will-do a job thoroughly. For a low outlay, you-can get a couch for-the room. A cure for-the lazy boy would-be to-give him a job which-would keep him busy. Why-have-you allowed our bill to-go unpaid? What-can-we-do for-you? You-can read and write for an hour. How-can-we keep in-touch with-them when-they go away? Why-do-you think it-would-be-the wrong thing to-do? I-think-you-are right, but-you-may-have to show why you-are making-the change.

I-will give-you a cheap rate to Niagara via the Lake route. What-would-be your rate for a large room with bath or shower?  We-had a fire, and our factory was idle for a month so we-had a poor year. I-have-no wish to argue with-you, for-you-may-be right in what-you say. You-will rub your eyes when-you see our New Era car. Why are-you buying a poor type of oil when-you can get a pure oil for-your money? Poor oil may damage your car; it-will pay you to buy a purer variety.

May-we-know why this small bill is unpaid? As you know, we-have allowed it to-go beyond-the usual time. We-shall-be happy to-give-you details of any of-the items which appear on-the bill. In a month, we-hope to add-the names of a dozen firms which-will sell our silk. I-have-seen-the head of-the firm, and-I-think-he-will renew-the lease on-the office in South Avenue. He-will, I-think, wish to-lease fewer rooms and-thus effect a saving. His firm has had a poor year, and-for-this-reason he has to-save some money.

Samuel Johnson, whose speech appears in today’s “News”, speaks tonight at-the Academy. What-is his subject? His topic is “Signs of-the Times.” I-think-he usually speaks on several subjects.

It-will assist me if-you-will make-up an itemized list of all-the stock we-have in-the store. The list should also state-the cost of-each item. Although our costs are high, we-have always refused to-lessen-the value of-our service. Honest value assists our firm to-keep its customers, and also to secure new buyers. Our silk may-be subjected to any test you-may wish to-make. We-think you first step should-be to stop waste as-fast-as you-can. We-suggest adjusting your charges as-the next step. Our sales this year already exceed all of-our sales for last year. Although you invoiced the steel posts to-us last month, we-are still having to make do with stone posts. Your failure to-get them to-us on time has caused a big upset in-the schedule, and-has cost a large sum of-money. We-shall-do our best to influence him to cancel the debt.
