The walls there are very narrow and the trail goes up and down, sharply

There are also a lot of very large rocks called boulders, stuck between the canyon walls

But she fell very slowly and didn't feel afraid

'It's getting very late!'

Now she was in a very long room

It had a very small key on it.

Then she saw a very small door about 40 centimeters high

'This is a very strange place - so perhaps I can.'

She had some and it was very nice

Because she was very big, her tears were very big too.

'Please, Sir-' she said very politely.

She was tired because she was very small now.

She stood very tall and said, 'I will tell you, but first, you tell me

'And your hair is now very white;

That wasn't very polite of you,' said the March Hare.

She'll be very angry and cut off our heads

There is some difference of opinion whether this clause should be enforced by national or by State authority; but surely that difference is not a very material one

I do not forget the position, assumed by some, that Constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court; nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding, in any case, upon the parties to a suit, as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the government

By the frame of the government under which we live, this same people have wisely given their public servants but little power for mischief; and have, with equal wisdom, provided for the return of that little to their own hands at very short intervals

While the people retain their virtue and vigilance, no administration, by any extreme of wickedness or folly, can very seriously injure the government in the short space of four years.

Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply

The world is very different now

He seemed about forty years old and he was very well dressed

He seemed very polite and he appeared to be quite a gentleman

How very sad for him!'

The world is a very sad place!' Now I thought I understood Mr Slinkton

He told me that he had not known him for very long

The visit was a very private one.

I was sorry to see that Miss Niner did not look very well at all

'My niece is very curious,' Mr Slinkton told me when I rejoined them

'He's a very rich man, but a very sick one

He says it's obvious that you are very fond of one another.'

'It's true we are very close,' Mr Slinkton said very seriously

The memory of her sister was clearly still very painful to her

He, too, seemed very upset by his memories.

She said he was a very good, kind man

Miss Niner was very shocked by my words

He told me that Miss Niner was very ill and he looked sad while he told me

I had a very important appointment at Middle Temple

He walked very unsteadily and he seemed drunk.

He was very surprised to see me.

'Look very carefully at me,' Beckwith cried out

You see, the last time you went to see Mr Sampson, I had already been to see him myself - I went to his house very early that morning

He was very pale, but he looked coldly at Beckwith

'You don't even know my real name,' he said very quietly

By that time Mary Ann - known as Polly - was very drunk

This was Inspector Abbeline, a fine detective who knew the East End and its people very well

Mrs Darrell could not describe the man very well

We know that witnesses often make small errors in time, so the man Mrs Darrell saw was very probably the murderer, and he attacked Annie at approximately 5.30 a.m

It was tied on the left side and was pulled very tight

very probably disturbed the killer, so he only had time to cut his victim's throat

Born in Limerick, Ireland, she moved to Wales with her family when she was very young

She was pleasant when sober but she could be noisy and very quarrelsome when drunk

The first witness was Elizabeth Darrell, who very probably saw the Ripper with Annie Chapman outside 29 Hanbury Street

On November 12th a labourer named George Hutchinson gave the police a very good description of a man he saw with Mary Kelly at about 2 o'clock on the morning of her murder

But he was not a doctor or a surgeon because he showed very little medical skill or knowledge

He certainly lived or worked in the Whitechapel area because he knew it very well

He lived at the Victoria Home, a workingmen's lodging house in Commercial Street, right in the middle of the murder area, and very near Goulston Street, where the piece of Eddowes's apron was found

Inspector Abbeline, a very able and experienced detective, interviewed him on November 12th - and believed his story

The Ripper murders were the first of a new kind of crime: serial killings, savage, without an obvious motive, no clues, and very difficult to solve.

Women became very nervous

But he had a very good alibi, which proved his innocence.

The Star reported the crime in very sensational language: the killer was 'half beast, half man', a 'demon', or 'vampire'

Liz Stride and Kate Eddowes were murdered near Jewish clubs, and the police were very nervous about the possibility of anti-Jewish disturbances

It was very probably from the murderer

He worked very hard and nearly had a nervous breakdown.

But it is very possible that they interviewed Jack the Ripper.

The night was not very dark; there was a full moon, hidden from time to time by large clouds moving quickly across the sky

'You have two very pretty children, Madame,' a voice said from close beside her.

'My little girl walked some of the way, but she's very small

'Children make friends very easily, don't they?' Mme Thenardier smiled

At these words, Fantine did a very strange thing

You set a very clever trap.'

The couple dressed Cosette in rags and gave her very little food, which they made her eat from a wooden bowl under the table

The Thenardiers always replied that she was in good health and very happy

The Thenardiers, however, were very angry - they had wanted money, not clothes

This time they wanted forty francs because Cosette was very ill and urgently needed medicine

He became a very wealthy man but lived a simple life, using most of his money to build new hospitals and schools

Entertainers and traders from Paris set up their stalls in the streets, and business at the Thenardiers' inn was very good

He looked very strange with his tall black hat and long yellow coat.

'This is a very heavy bucket for such a small child,' he said gently, looking down at her from his great height.

'Times are very hard,' Mme Thenardier replied immediately

'We love that child very much

Gillenormand, was a very wealthy man, but the two men hated each other

His father, a brave officer who had fought for Napoleon and nearly died at the Battle of Waterloo, had really loved him and his mother very much

He did not earn very much money, but it was enough for the rent and simple meals

She was very thin, almost ugly, but Marius noticed that she had lovely blue eyes

But, although he was very interested in them, they seemed not to notice him at all

The girl was always talking happily, while the man said very little

Marius, that you're a very handsome boy?'

Marius still said nothing, and after a moments pause she said, 'You don't seem very glad to see me, but I could make you look happy if I wanted to!'

They all looked very nervous and excited about something.

Although this made him very unpopular, he thought that his opponents would be too weak to prevent him from doing what he wanted

The General had been very popular with the people of France because of his love for Napoleon

New people arrived all the time, bringing with them gunpowder and weapons to fight the soldiers who would be arriving very soon.

Is it very bad?'

When you read this, my soul will be very near and smiling at you.

They had left quickly, at nightfall, bringing their servant, Toussaint, with them, but very little luggage

When you read this, my soul will be very near...

There were only twenty-six men left, and the main attack on the barricade was going to take place very soon

I wouldn't come often or stay very long

'Monsieur, you are very kind,' said Jean Valjean, shaking Marius's hand and leaving the room.

You're upsetting me very much, and I don't know why you're being so cruel.'

Valjean replied that he was very well, but that he had business to attend to

One day her mother made some cakes and said to her, "Go, my dear, and see how your grandmother is doing, because she has been very ill

As she was going through the wood, she met with a wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up, but he dared not, because of some woodcutters working nearby in the forest

"Oh yes, that would be very nice!" She smiles, but in the half-light Oliver thinks he sees something strange in her expression.

Oliver thinks that this is going to be very easy indeed

She is scared, very scared.

"I'm sorry Miss Thornton, but there's very little that we can do

"He seems to like that bag very much." says Darwin.

"It's fantastic," Eleanor says, and again Carolina is very happy to have a new companion.

"There is very little to say

"You see, we all have very different ideas about what the perfect murder is

She smiles, "It's very clever..

It is also a very heavy statue.

And an important detail, a very important detail, is that you're in the wrong side of the confessional

He is tired, very tired, and he still feels sick from the beer and whiskey of last night.

Every year" Greg said, "hundreds of tourists come here, right? Most of them are rich, and some of them are very rich

He can see nothing because of the trees, but he knows he is very near

The husband is rich, very rich

"Detective, the young men at this school are very clever and come from very important families

Behind him he can hear Junior, who sounds like he is very scared.

Now, it's not a very nice story, and I can't promise you that there will be a very happy ending

But it's a true story, and that's something that's very important to me, and I want you to remember that.

And you know what? It's something that's very important to you too.

You know what I mean when I say a nobody? I mean Jimmy wasn't rich, and he wasn't too bright, you know? Not very clever, really

But there is something very dangerous about Hank Wynn when he looks calm and happy

It's very important to me

And, right now, it's very important to you." And he takes the gag from Jimmy's mouth.

I have all my knitting things in here." The old woman looks very upset and apologetic.

"Yes." Sala loved painting, but the paints were expensive, so it was something she couldn't do very often.

But it's very odd, all the same."

This one was very exciting, but Sala couldn't concentrate

"It was a special offer - if you bought one experience, you could get another for free." He suddenly started talking very fast

"You look very pale."

Your mother is in a very unusual position, you know - Cham's dad only gets bits and pieces of work now and then

It was true, her family was very lucky, and she sometimes forgot that

"Pod Life is the future, Sala." Niki sounded very confident

"I feel very sorry for all those people

We have a very nice house near the ocean and there are wild roses in the garden, just as there were when we were young

Uncle Eston is right - this could all be very dangerous."

"But meanwhile, we do have to be very careful

That night, and the following day, went very slowly

So the word 'passenger' describes you very well, don't you think?"

Since receiving Great-Uncle Eston's letter, Gran had been very quiet

She looked very different now that she was in her own surroundings - more friendly and unthreatening

There were just two chairs, a simple metal table, and a very old sofa

And apart from that, keep very, very quiet."

Keep very, very quiet, Wena had said

Gran looked very surprised

"I know you've been very sure about the letter, Gran

At these words, Gran looked very downhearted

With no Cham to talk to, and no news from Wena, the week went by very slowly for Sala.

Cham went very still

Mrs Van Hopper was very greedy

'Manderley was looking very lovely when I came away.' There was another silence

I was very rude after lunch.' The note was not signed, but I knew it was from de Winter.

It's very kind of you to lunch with me after my rudeness.'

'Your friend is very different from you,' he said at last

When my father had died very suddenly, my mother had lived only a few weeks after him.

'An empty house, even a very beautiful one, can be lonely,' de Winter said.

I got my things very quietly

De Winter stopped the car at the very edge

I suddenly felt very young and very silly.

I sat very still

People say she was very lovely

Her death was very sudden

'I haven't done this very well, have I?' Maxim said

'That must seem very old to you.'

'I'll tell her we are getting married very soon

Max de Winter is very attractive, of course

'They are all very interested in you

Everything was very quiet

'We are all very glad to see you at home again

The teapot and kettle were of silver and the china was very fine

'I think you will be very comfortable there.'

The hall seemed very big, and my footsteps sounded very loud on the stone floor.

'But this is a very charming room

'Mr de Winter gave very careful orders in his letter about this room

'And I'm sure we'll be very comfortable in these rooms.'

I think you've done very well, Mrs Danvers.'

'There's something very quiet and peaceful about this room

Life at Manderley was very carefully planned

I remember our first morning there very clearly

I work very hard

But I did not feel very happy as Maxim walked out of the room

I felt very stupid.

The morning-room was quite small and very different from the library

Yes, very nice indeed.'

'I'm very sorry to have disturbed you, Madam.'

I felt very stupid

'It's very kind of you, Mrs Danvers,' I said

Beatrice was tall, broad-shouldered and very much like Maxim

Tell me, do you love Maxim very much?'

Maxim looks very well

We were all very worried about him last year

'Maxim said in his letter that you were very young and pretty

We expected a very modern sort of girl.' Beatrice laughed and I laughed with her.

'She's very jealous, of course

You are so very different from Rebecca.'

'Beatrice is very kind-hearted, but she always says the wrong thing.'

The trees grew very close together over our heads and it was very dark

I thought Maxim was being very unkind

'It's not very nice weather,' I said

The grass round the little house had grown very long

He was walking very fast now

It was very different here from the Happy Valley

Jasper was tired too, and walked very slowly.

I was not hungry and I felt very tired

Her skin was very white

'Oh well, you are very young, aren't you? We can't all do everything

'It's very dirty

The sea is sometimes very rough in the bay.'

'Maxim would be very unhappy to hear you talking like this, Mrs de Winter

'Was Rebecca very beautiful?'

I was suddenly very frightened

He's very upset

'That's very valuable

'I'm very sorry, darling,' I said

'It was very silly and careless of me.'

'They can't find me very interesting,' I said

'Perhaps I did a very selfish thing when I married you,' he said slowly

Was it very valuable?'

The sea was very calm

The tide was out and there was very little water in the bay

He looked very frightened.

'Maxim's very well, he's in London,' I said.

'I'm very fond of Manderley,' I said.

I'm afraid your husband doesn't like me very much

'That's very kind,' he said

Had Favell known Rebecca? What had he been doing in the west wing? There were some very valuable things in the house

The house seemed very quiet as I began to walk up the stairs

'I'd like you to come very much, Beatrice,' I said.

One voice was Maxim's, very loud and angry

I could tell that he was very angry

'And London was very hot and noisy

Frank was very busy and so was Mrs Danvers

I saw very little of her, and I was glad.

The girl's wearing a very simple dress

The dress was very simple, with short sleeves and a long, full skirt

I felt very excited

The afternoon seemed very long

'Here, this blue dress is very pretty

I felt very tired.

I remember very little of the first party at Manderley

You look very tired

The servants had been very busy

It was very hot, but the sun was hidden behind the wall of fog

I was suddenly very angry and not afraid of Mrs Danvers any more

It looked very high

I suddenly felt very hot

I stood very still

It was very hot

The house looked very peaceful

I suddenly felt very hungry, and so I asked Robert to bring in the tea

He says it's very important.'

'Well, Mrs de Winter, it's not very pleasant

I felt very afraid

It was very quiet in the library

I answered very quietly.

Rebecca came back from London very late

Maxim's voice was very low

'There was no moon and it was very dark,' Maxim went on

The library was very quiet

'I feel very sorry for both of you.'

I don't think it will take very long

The weather was very hot and the air was heavy

'Doesn't this seem very strange to you, Mr de Winter?'

We were in his car now and he was driving very fast.

I was very surprised.

'I don't want to be rude, but I am very tired

I was very fond of Rebecca.'

'I'm very sorry for you.'

'You must be feeling very pleased with yourself.'

'You've been very lucky

Thank you very much, goodbye.'

His face was very red

Maxim went very white

He's a very well-known women's doctor.'

The drive through the centre of London seemed very long

'I knew Mrs de Winter very well

'The woman who called herself Mrs Danvers was very ill indeed

She had very little pain at that time

Thank you very much.'

'Thank you very much,' Maxim said.

And soon, very soon Maxim and I would have children.

The early morning was very cold

'Act very afraid

'Nathan is very good, but I don't need a stand-in.'

'It's very nice

You're very pretty!'

When he was very young, he had called it "neenut putter."

"And handles them very well," Helen said

"A very smooth character indeed," Helen said.

Something was very wrong here

And when I was young, I was very awkward."

Once, long ago, she had loved him very much

We'll make it very romantic

The very best

"Obviously, it's somebody who at the very least dislikes you, if he doesn't actually hate you

If that were the situation, we'd have the grave opened very quickly

But it happens I know a very reasonable judge

As Elliot rinsed the second snifter and placed it in the rack, Tina said, "You do that very well."

"When I was poor, I looked forward to the day when I'd have a lovely home full of beautiful things, all arranged by the very best interior decorator

"Well, if you cook it very funny, I don't know if I want to eat it."

The vision was so vivid, so disturbing, that she and her husband raced back to the city that very night to have the grave reopened at dawn

"If you gave him a deposit, and if he gave you this address and claimed he lived here, then it's not very likely this Sol Fitzpatrick even owns any boat in the first place."

"Oh, Vegas is a very important town," Elliot said

The boys couldn't have gotten very close to such a well-guarded place

Only a moment ago, she had envied these people for the very ordinariness of their lives

It was something very different, something exceedingly strange."

"Tina, this is a very imaginative theory, but-"

He certainly wasn't old enough to remember all the cards that were dealt and calculate his chances from that, like some of the very best players can do

"And if you come up with one," Tina said, "I'll give it very serious consideration."

Yet numerous members of the family had secretly rendered service - some of it dirty - to the FBI, the CIA, and various other intelligence and police agencies, often the very same organizations that they publicly criticized and reviled

It's not very late."

While we're working so hard to keep ahead of our enemies, aren't we perhaps becoming more like them? Aren't we becoming a totalitarian state, the very thing we say we despise?"

It's just that for more than fifteen years, I've led a very ordinary life, a workaday life

Snowshoes in case we have to walk very far in open country

He has been very infectious, off and on, but not at the moment

Tamaguchi drove us very hard until we isolated the antibody and figured out why it was so effective against the disease

But he hugged her very hard, and again she was surprised by how much strength he could still summon from his devastated body

"At the very least, I'll get more pay."

He was very kind to me

But my uncle was very afraid

Then one night he drank very heavily and ran wildly out of the house, and in the morning we found him dead in a river

I remembered my uncle's letter from India, and I was very worried.

Haven't you ever heard of it? It's a very secret group of Americans from the South

The police said it was an accident, but Holmes was very angry about it.

Sherlock Holmes is a very clever detective, but he can do nothing about the weather

May I do it? It won't be very nice to watch, you know.'

This was very strange because Helene insisted that she had only used it once

'I believe Madame Delambre has a very clear brain..

And I'm very much afraid we shall never understand, unless perhaps your sister-in-law should..

'You are very fortunate to understand anything, Monsieur Delambre,' he said

She had answered very few, always in a calm quiet voice

She had been very willing to speak about her life with my brother - which seemed a happy and ordinary one - up to the time he died

Staring at her, I was about to say that her boy had asked the very same question a few hours earlier

'I've been working my way through many problems, and I haven't been very pleasant to live with

Having carefully closed the door, he took me to the other end of the room and gave me a pair of very dark sun glasses

He did not tell me first, knowing very well that I would never have agreed to such an experiment with our dog

Unfortunately I cannot see small things very easily.

'Yes' he knocked very gently.

After what seemed a very long wait, but was probably only a minute or two, I saw a bright light through my fingers.

'I would like to show you a very strange document after dinner, Charas,' I said.

I had just finished cutting some meat, which was very tough, and said, waving the knife in a way that was not at all appropriate for a vicar, that anyone who murdered Colonel Protheroe would be doing the world a favour.

She is twenty years younger than I am, very pretty, and unable to take anything seriously.

She was looking at Griselda as she spoke, and I suddenly felt very angry

There were very few people that evening at the Wednesday church service, but afterwards, as I left, I saw a woman standing and looking up at one of our coloured-glass windows

It was arranged very simply, but perfectly, and I wondered what had made Mrs Lestrange come to St Mary Mead

She was a very tall woman

'It's very kind of you,' she replied

She had brown hair, a pale face and very deep grey eyes

'I suppose to you that is very wrong?'

However, Lawrence Redding was a very good guest

Then I spoke to him very seriously and asked him to leave St Mary Mead

'Stone was pretending to be very interested in it.'

Thank you for a very pleasant evening.'

He looked very pale

'This afternoon I was asked to go to a dying man, but when I got there everyone was very surprised

'He mentioned it this morning in the village, very loudly as usual.'

He was not just very energetic, but also extremely rude and bossy

His cheerfulness rather upset me, but death means very little to a boy of sixteen.

'She was very quiet...'

But Anne was really very quiet - very strange.'

He was sure that it was very important.

'No, if you were committing a murder, you'd be very careful about things like that.'

'You've never done one.' Before Griselda could reply, a shadow fell across the table, and a very gentle voice said, 'Please forgive me

Not a very pleasant man, but it's still sad

'Dennis', said Griselda, 'is very excited about a footprint he found, and has gone to tell the police about it.'

'Oh, dear! I have been very mistaken...'

'I am so glad - so very glad.'

When I had finished she said, 'I know that I am very often rather stupid, but I really do not understand your point

'But if there was an argument,' I argued, 'the shot may have been fired in sudden anger, and Lawrence might have been very upset afterwards about what he had done.'

The letter also seems very strange

She's got a very definite idea in her head and she's acting upon it.'

'It was something very different, but I can't say more just now.'

I noticed that Dr Haydock was looking very cheerful this morning

It's very urgent.'

We were very surprised by this

It was very good of him - but very silly.'

'They seemed very happy.'

She's really a very clever girl

I can think of at least seven people who might be very happy to have Colonel Protheroe dead.'

She's not very happy at home

'He's not very well this morning

They're very stupid, aren't they?'

And all because it reminded you of something very different, something about a bag of wood for the fire.'

'You are laughing at me,' said Miss Marple, 'but that is a very good way of finding the truth

'But I thought that perhaps my husband wouldn't stay very long

We discovered Mrs Price Ridley talking very fast to a patient policeman.

A very strange voice.'

'Well, this person began by saying, "You are a very unpleasant old woman who tells lies!" Me, Colonel Melchett! "And now the police are after you."'

'"Unless you keep quiet, it will be very bad for you." I replied, "Who are you?" and the voice answered, "The Avenger"

Like a very big gun

I would be very grateful if you could come and see me this afternoon

But murder! For murder - one would need a very strong reason.'

He was probably very angry about being sent to prison but would feel differently when he came out.

'It was very good of you to come, Mr Clement

I am in a very strange position, Mr Clement, and I want to ask your advice about what I should do next

'Miss Hartnell is very boring,' said Mrs Lestrange

Inspector Slack's face was suddenly very red

But suddenly I heard someone else moving very close to me

She was working in the garden, and was very pleased with the stone

'I can't remember it very well,' said Lawrence

'She sent over a very strange note

I found Miss Marple in a very excited state

'He writes very clever books, though in real life people are not nearly so unpleasant as he makes his characters

Several people must have heard, as he spoke very loudly.'

'It must be very interesting,' I said.

'A very stupid man

We began to run, and inside we bumped into a very good-looking young man

'I am very glad to see you,' said Lawrence

I can imagine that Lawrence must have looked very attractive, with his blue eyes shining.

And of course he did talk very loud.'

At last, a meeting was arranged in the garden, and here Lawrence spoke to a very nervous Gladdie

'Well, the master was very angry

But something in me said, 'It can't be her!' Why? And then something else replied, 'Because she's a very attractive woman

'I think that is very unlikely,' I replied.

'We would be very sorry to lose you.'

'Oh, but Lawrence is very attractive himself,' said Griselda

His books are about unpleasant people with very boring lives.

'Only that it is probably a very ordinary murder, by an angry poacher most likely.'

Griselda and I returned home very excited

I was very surprised

And she's very kind really

'I am sleeping very badly just now, and at about three o'clock this morning I thought I heard someone moving about the house

'Then the very night she arrives, that picture is cut,' I said.

Lucius was very well off and he left things equally divided between me and Lettice

Next, there was a very old coat, then an old cap and an old pair of boots

'But isn't this silver very valuable?'

I am very worried

Yours very sincerely,

I have heard something that is very important

'You're very clever at hiding things,' I said.

She was sitting there and saying very loudly that she had never taken a suitcase to the woods.

But before that, this lady looked around in a very strange way, to see if anyone had noticed her

'It is very simple,' she continued

Mrs Price Ridley said very slowly, 'She heard a sneeze on the day of the murder at a time when there was no one in your house

I would very much like to talk to you

Perhaps dear Griselda and Dennis would be very kind and come over here and entertain my nephew

Yours very sincerely,

And that's very difficult

'I have been stupid - very, very stupid

It is a very unpleasant thing that I have to tell you

It is very painful for me to name a priest of your church

Oh, he's very clever! Keeping the letter and using it this way was very clever indeed.'

'But by Thursday afternoon the crime had been very carefully planned

And, very strangely, she did not take her handbag

And he acted as though he was very upset

'Your explanation is a very good one, Miss Marple,' Melchett said

Haydock came into the room, looking very tired

You've been very kind to me always - you and Griselda.'

'However,' she added, 'I'm going to be very serious and well behaved from now on.'

'But of course you are feeling very cheerful.' She paused by the window

It seems that the Martians calculated their journey very cleverly - their mathematical knowledge appears to be much more developed than ours

I now believe that this was a fire built to make an enormous gun in a very deep pit

This, we now know, was a very accurate description

He was very excited at the news and invited me to spend the night with him, watching the red planet.

Despite everything that has happened since, I still remember that night very clearly

But poor Ogilvy had seen it fall and so he got up very early with the idea of finding it

It was, however, still very hot from its flight through the air and he could not get close to it

He realized that, very slowly, the round top of the cylinder was turning.

By the afternoon the appearance of the common had changed very much

I was very glad to do as he asked

I suddenly felt very cold

They were all very frightened, but still interested in the strange happenings in the pit

Both The Times and the Daily Telegraph, for example, said this very confidently the next morning

And we also learned that the Martians were so mechanically clever that they did not need to use their bodies very much.

But I did not consider these points at the time, and so I thought the Martians had very little chance of success

I remember the dinner table that evening very clearly even now: my dear wife's sweet, worried face looking at me from under the pink lamp-shade, the white cloth laid with silver and glass, the glass of red wine in my hand

These contained only very inaccurate descriptions of the killing of Stent, Henderson, Ogilvy and the others

I got back to lunch at about two, very tired because, as I have said, the day was extremely hot and dull

My wife was strangely silent during the drive, and seemed very worried

Her face, I remember, was very white as I drove away.

I had been very excited all day and I was not sorry that I had to return to Maybury

But that night it was all very strange and I was physically exhausted, wet to the skin, deafened and blinded by the storm

They seemed very busy

There were a few people still alive there; most of them were very frightened, and many of them had been burnt

As the dawn grew brighter, we moved back from the window where we had watched and went very quietly downstairs.

However, Byfleet was very busy

In another moment a great wave of very hot water came sweeping round the bend

And then, very slowly

I saw an empty boat, very small and far away, moving down the river and, taking off most of my wet clothes, I swam to it

I used my hands to keep it moving, down the river towards Walton, going very slowly and often looking behind me

I was in some pain and very tired

When the bridge at Walton was coming into sight, I landed on the Middlesex bank and lay down, very sick, in the long grass.

'Are we far from Sunbury?' I said, very quietly.

The morning papers on Saturday contained, in addition to a great deal of information about the planet Mars, one very short report.

There was very little excitement at the station

Besides this, Londoners are very used to feeling safe, and exciting news is so normal in the papers that they could read reports like this without great fear:

People in West Surrey are very worried and defenses have been built to slow the Martians' movement towards London.

My brother could get very little exact information out of them

Guns, including some very large ones, were moving in quickly

No doubt the Martians were very frightening, but there could not be more than twenty of them against our millions.

The faces of the people showed that they were very tired

He was now very worried about me.

Everything had become very still

The man, who looked very well built, tried to move in closer, but my brother hit him in the face

He would have had very little chance if the younger lady had not very bravely stopped the cart and returned to help him

Mrs Elphinstone - that was the name of the woman in white - refused to listen to his argument, and kept calling for 'George', but her sister-in-law was very quiet and sensible and agreed to my brother's suggestion

There were people of every class and profession, but they were all dusty; their skins were dry, their lips black and cracked, and all of them looked very afraid.

They were beginning to feel very hungry and the night was cold

It was very difficult to get her down to the beach, where after some time my brother caught the attention of some men from a steamboat

There was food available, although the prices were very high, and the three of them had a meal.

No one worried about that very much

Something rushed up into the sky, something flat and broad and very large, and flew in a great curve

I was very worried about my wife

These worries stayed on my mind and I grew very tired of the curate's constant talking

Outside and very near was the noise from a machine, which started and stopped.

Towards the end of the day I found that I was very hungry

We now lay on the very edge of the enormous round pit that the Martians were making.

This face had no nose - I do not think they had any sense of smell - but it had a pair of very large, dark eyes, and just beneath these a kind of v-shaped mouth

They did not sleep, and because they had very simple bodies they never seemed to get tired

A final difference seems very unimportant

When I looked again, the busy building-machine had already put together several of the pieces of metal from inside the cylinder into a shape that was very like its own

At a later date we began to feel less in danger of being seen because the sunlight outside was very bright, but at first anything approaching the house drove us back into the hall in fear

We were very different people with different habits of thought and action, and those differences increased because we were living together in this dangerous place

It was very late and the moon was shining brightly

I moved forwards, saying, 'Good dog!' very softly, but it suddenly pulled his head back and disappeared.

After my time in the darkness, the day seemed very bright, the sky was shining blue

The view of blackened trees and empty ruined buildings made me very unhappy

Before I went to bed I was very restless and went from window to window, looking out for some sign of them

I moved slowly because I was very tired and my plans were uncertain

It started very quietly

I also found that I was very tired, and hungry and thirsty again.

Perhaps I was too tired to be very afraid

I began to feel very happy and I started running along the road.

And as I looked at it, and realized that the shadows had been rolled back, and that people might still live in its streets, and that this dear city of mine might be once more alive and powerful again, I felt such emotion that I was very close to tears.

They have told me since that I was singing a crazy song about 'The Last Man Left Alive! The Last Man Left Alive!' Although they were troubled with their own affairs, these people were very helpful to me

I was a lonely man, and they were very kind to me

I know very little about medical matters, but it seems to me most likely that the Martians were killed by germs.

Besides this, we still know very little about the Black Smoke, and the way that the Heat-Ray worked remains a puzzle.

He was a very restless gentleman

Well, that man must have a very big problem because he left his pipe

It is obvious that he likes this particular pipe very much.'

'How do you know that he likes it very much?' I asked.

So, this man must like his pipe very much if he prefers to mend it instead of buying a new one with the same money.'

'I beg your pardon,' said the man, 'I should have knocked, but I am very upset, and I need help.'

'I have been married for three years, and my wife and I were very happy until last Monday

She went to America when she was very young and lived in the town of Atlanta, where she married a man called Hebron who was a lawyer

This money was invested, and she can live very well with the income from it

Until this recent incident my wife and I lived very happily there.

'"What for?" I asked, very surprised by the large amount.

I was not very near, but there was something unnatural and inhuman about the face

She looked very frightened and nervous

Upon my word, Watson, there is something very attractive about that yellow face at the window, and I would not miss this case for worlds.'

She pulled out a locket, and inside the locket was the picture of a very handsome and intelligent man, but a man who was obviously of African descent.

'This is John Hebron, of Atlanta,' said Mrs Munro, 'and he was a very noble man

She is very dark, but she is my dear little girl.' When the little girl heard these words, she ran to her mother.

'I left her in America with a trusted servant,' Mrs Munro continued, 'because she was not very healthy, but I never considered abandoning her

'I am not a very good man, Effie, but I think that I am better than you thought.'

We were all feeling very ill, and we were unhappy about it

When I left it, I was a very ill man.

The tent is wet and very heavy

Aunt Podger was very angry

I am very good at packing

He knew it was very easy to get out again.

It's very easy

Usually, the lock is a very busy place

'However, I am very thirsty and I must drink something.' So he took the bottle and drank some water.

It's very difficult to prepare tea, and you look tired.'

I heard some very bad words

I thought the job must be very difficult.

This makes the water very angry

We were very cold

It was very cold and I decided not to go in

When I got back to the boat, I was very cold

When the scrambled eggs were ready, there was very little to eat

My friends and I are very unhappy to hear men of your age use such bad words.' The three old men did not agree with Harris.

'Thank you very much,' said George, looking around

'Well, sir, I don't think you look very healthy, after drinking all that river water

This was a very big job

I love it! I find it very interesting

I'm very careful with my work, too

You and J are very lazy people.'

Harris worked very little on the boat.

The river here is very dirty, so we moved on to Streatley

The laundry woman was very surprised to see such dirty clothes

Montmorency was very happy

He got very ill and died ten days later.

'That's not very exciting,' said George.

But they are very pretty

I've been thinking she manages very well

'I like it very much, too..

He drove to the Seaway, to a part of the beach they knew very well

She has often wished to drive very near to the end of the sands until the tyres of the car touched the water

A very foolish idea, as he said sharply to her the first time she mentioned it

And she has been very good to me.'

Find out something she wants very much but cannot get in this country.'

It's very serious.'

'You're being very silly

Your life here will be very quiet

Laura and I are very different: she's blonde, and I'm dark; she's beautiful, and I'm ugly; she's rich, and I'm poor

But even so we love each other very much

"'The other reason I like Anne is that she looks very much like Laura

Your mother was very kind to me, so you and your happiness are important to me.

Sir Percival Glyde very kindly paid for the asylum, and I thank him for that.

This letter made me very angry

Laura asked Sir Percival if I could, and he very kindly agreed

This morning he spoke to me, and this afternoon I told Laura what he had said: 'He was very generous

Now she dresses very simply and sits silently, rolling cigarettes for her husband.

I am very glad he is not my enemy, but is this because I like him or because I am afraid of him?

'I'm afraid that when you so kindly brought my handkerchief to me you probably heard Laura say something very offensive

'You're very kind,' I replied.

Recently you've acted very foolishly

Sir Percival said, 'It's very simple

She's not as pretty, and she's very ill, but still she looks very similar.'

'You've been very kind to my sister and me

She was a pretty blonde lady with blue eyes, but she looked very weak

The day she arrived, she became very ill

When she met me she told me - very gently - that my love was dead.

'A very aristocratic family! Especially on his mother's side!' She stopped speaking suddenly, as if she had said something she did not mean to say.

It was written in a very small space at the bottom of the page

Then he said, 'You've been very helpful to me, so now I'll help you

The vicar says hello to me! But back then, when Anne was a child, my life was very hard

His reply was very rude

Now she looked like the Laura I first met at Limmeridge: her expression was lively once more, she smiled frequently, and she had lost that sad nervous look that made her so very like Anne Catherick

She was very like Laura, and Laura was very like her father

Her anxiety caused her to become very ill indeed, and the next day she died

In many countries and at different times in history, girls had very little or no education

The education of girls is still a very important topic around the world.

Her books have been very important for women's rights, and they are still important today.

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is very important in the history of women's rights

Her ideas were very new at the time

Malala did not die, but she was very badly hurt.

This is because of things like war, or because girls have to get married when they are very young

Human rights are a very important part of democracy.

She could not read or write, but she was very intelligent.

She was very brave

In Britain, politicians, the newspapers and the people were very surprised by what the suffragettes did

Emmeline was a very good speaker

She was very brave, and she knew that women had to win this fight

Sometimes, the police forced her to eat, which was very painful

They wrote that she changed society very much.

"It feels great," she said as she came out, with a very big smile

"This is a very important moment

In many European countries, married women still had very few rights

Her thoughts about women in society are still very important today.

In the Arab world, Nawal El Saadawi is very famous

Women often lived in very small rooms

They also worked long hours and got very low pay - and it was very hard work.

Marie Curie's work was very important

The Curies' work helped to make X-rays, which are very important in medicine today

Marie was very good at this important and dangerous work.

At the end of the 1920s, Marie became very ill because of her work, and she died in 1934.

Later in the 20th century, there were more women in science, and some of them did very important work

Lise was very famous late in her life, but she was not given the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

Rosalind Franklin was very intelligent, and she knew when she was fifteen that she wanted to be a scientist

There were eight children in her family, and, when Nancy was young, they were very poor

As a child, Nancy loved reading, and she was very intelligent.

She was also very interested in children's health and education

Nancy was very strong, and she always said what she thought

Thanks to Sirimavo Bandaranaike, the name of Bandaranaike became very famous

As the plane went by, she felt very excited

When she was young, she liked many sports, and she was very good at them

When she went home to the Netherlands, the Dutch were very happy

Billie Jean knew that the match was very important for women's rights.

In some parts of the world, for example, very young girls have to get married

The two young women were very brave, and they were empowered

In 2018, a very famous man in American TV, Bill Cosby, was convicted of sexual assault and was sent to prison for three to ten years.

That night, social media became very busy, as MeToo started everywhere in the world.

In many countries, it is very difficult for women to talk about sexual assault

Today, the MeToo movement is very big everywhere
