Wow, that was a really, really, really, really long run-on sentence, far too many independent clauses and, also, way too many dependent clauses for one sentence.

All I can think of is "You keep the money." "Oh, Oskar!" "You keep the money." "Oh, Oskar!" "Oh, Suzie!" Anybody else remember? :)

Although it was published in 1859, it really could have ben written today, because nothing about human nature ever changes. This is still the best of times and yet it is also the worst of times. How well he knew human nature!!

Opening of A Tale of Two Cities - oh yes, I know that, I thought. I got the first few words no problem - then I realised I don't know it at all! Must re-read. I love Dickens. Thanks, enjoyed this quiz!

I'm so proud! I memorized this five years ago and remembered almost everything - just missed season of light and season of darkness. Fun quiz!
