- Mrs. Bennet took her time walking up the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, weaving through the sharp rocks that littered the terrain and keeping on the lookout for critters.
- This was a day just like any other; the kids were broken off into units playing, I was playing my part as silent observer while writing in my journal, and the weather was gearing up to be a scorcher.
