I shall not forgive you again

This time I forgive you but I shall not forgive you again. 

I observe that he forgives you but he will not forgive you again. 

Although I eat this fish I don't know its name. 

Spirits watch over the soul of course. 

I suppose and I presume. 

I pose and I resume. 

I suppose I have a horse. 

How in the world can you afford this house I said and she said 

 

I had a good divorce. 

Strangers are warned that here there is a fierce, fast dog. 

Whores have no business getting lost in the fog. 

Is it to your ears or your soul that my voice is intolerable? 

Whether Florinda lays a hand on his knee or his voluble, he pleads a headache 

and the narrator concludes, The problem is insoluble.
