Round 2 lines--Hermsprong
Your choices for this round are as follows:
1. America is known to be a savage land, yet that savagery masks an innocence which, combined in a child of noble birth, lost among those same savage natives, was to produce a man whose entrance into the Ton caused some little stir.
2. Few things more wonderful can have occured in late years in the city of Bristol than the arrival of a certain young man from the Americas, with whose fortunes I shall shortly better acquaint you.
3. If human nature be always the same, it cannot have changed much since Mr. Addison's time; and there may still be readers who will peruse a book with more satisfaction, when they know something of its author.
4. "Much fortune hath been gain'd and much lost upon one turn o' pitch-and-toss", thus the Right Honourable Justice Melcamp would recite to any whose ear he could catch.
5. Some five and twenty years prior to the present date, a pair of American settlers, as Americans are often wont to do, left their eldest son behind while fleeing a raiding party of savage Indians.
6. That I here disclose is the truest history of my life and events befalling me during my sojourn among the English.
7. The sun was beginning to set as the great ship neared the dock, and Philip Dunston passed a shaking hand across his brow.

I tried the alphabetical thing this time. Deadline Monday, 5 PM. Next book up after results of Round 1 (or after the game that night, one of the two).
