1. The savage army was in war-paint, plumed _for_ battle. 22. He had lived in Paris _for_ the last fifty years. 23. The hill stretched _for_ an immeasurable distance. 24. The baron of Smaylho'me rose _with_ day, He spurred his courser on, Without stop or stay, down the rocky way That leads _to_ Brotherstone. 25. _With_ all his learning, Carteret was far from being a pedant. 26.
