I've kept it fresh for you. I reckon you don't care to read it you've seen it afore.
The country people cut a raw turnep in thin slices, and a lemon in the same manner: and by placing the slices alternately with sugar-candy between each, the juice of the turnep is extracted, and is used as a pleasant and good remedy in obstinate coughs, and will be found to relieve persons thus afflicted, if taken immediately after each fit.
The priest dived forward and extracted a small despatch-box from some unseen receptacle. "Your keys, please, Monsignor." The other felt wildly about his person. He saw the steady eyes of the old priest upon him. "You keep them in your left-hand breast pocket," said the priest slowly and distinctly. The man felt there, fetched out a bundle of thin, flat keys, and handed them over helplessly.
The deacon looked pleased, and extracted another picture, and remarked, as he handed it to Tom: "That's Pet's mother." Tom took it, looked at it, and screamed: "My wife!"

Sit down, sir!" shouted the Major. "I have no dirty linen to wash, no skeletons in the cupboard or piffle of that kind.

He resumed his seat, and taking out his wallet extracted from it a small newspaper cutting which he offered to Harley. "Read that, Mr. Harley," he directed.
And as for the Experiment with Red-rose Leaves, the same thing may be alleged, for we found that such Leaves by bare Infusion for a Night and Day in fair Water, did afford us a Tincture bordering at least upon Redness, and that Colour being conspicuous in the Leaves themselves, would not by some seem so much to be produc'd as to be extracted by the affusion of Oyl of Vitriol.
In cows, and other ruminating animals, the internal surface of the uterus is unequal like hollow cups, which have been called cotyledons; and into these cavities the prominencies of the numerous placentas, with which the fetus of those animals is furnished, are inserted, and strictly adhere; though they may be extracted without effusion of blood.
Oh no: perhaps this is it!" Looking up, Chichikov saw that Plushkin had extracted a decanter coated with dust. "My late wife made the stuff," went on the old man, "but that rascal of a housekeeper went and threw away a lot of it, and never even replaced the stopper.
