- ... games with double-digits in scoring. His play on the court was mystifying, and his demeanor both on and off the court was commendable.

His pilot has a heart attack ...

While he was their prisoner, he would read them books of Roman and Greek literature.

The pirates should have killed him right there instead of laughing at ... island and hunted down his captors.
