"You are kidding!" The girl said angrily, studying him with a long gaze.
"I don’t." He answered. "I can show you my mini rewards that I always carry with me."

Those who wanted were able to take the night tour, because that trip was not included in the tour program, and should be paid for.

The sun was reflecting sundogs into the bus windows, and it added a good mood to the group.
Veronica admired the romantic atmosphere of the city and didn 't want to leave. She wished she could stay in Rome so much!

    For Shin, in the camp, the idea of family was nearly nonexistent. He wasn’t made because two people loved each other; his mother and father were just forced to marry. “Neither bride nor groom had much say in deciding whom they would marry. If one partner found his or her chosen mate to be unacceptably old, cruel, or ugly, guards would sometimes cancel a marriage. If they did, neither the man nor the woman would be allowed to marry again.”

There are unusual cooking methods, like in an 18th-century recipe for beefsteak panbroiled over a fire made from two newspapers. Without kitchen timers or thermometers, the DB’s cooks were often forced to be ingenious in measuring when a dish was done: ‘‘until the bones are ready to fall out,’’ ‘‘until you can run a straw into the skin,’’ until ‘‘the milk tastes of spice,’’ ‘‘till it be soft and limber.’’ They used their senses more acutely than we do.
