~   ~   ~   Sentence 982   ~   ~   ~

It would have been difficult for anybody, on suddenly finding himself the possessor of this immense incalculable wealth, to make any comment quite worthy of the situation, but, surely, none could have been more inadequate and indeed inappropriate than Horace's--which, heartfelt as it was, was couched in the simple monosyllable--"Damn!"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,007   ~   ~   ~

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,442   ~   ~   ~
