OK, here's some more, this time from chapter 2 (the last was from chapter 1).

There were no other guests. After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. ______ sat panting in the red marble drawing room, where an enormous fire was now burning. Mr. ______ panted quite a bit too. _______, who was wearing a ruby satin dress with ropes of emeralds, got as close to the fire as she could.

"Make it blaze for me," she said to Mr. ______.

Mr. ______ made such a blaze that the ______s thought the chimney would catch fire.

"Lovely, lovely!" said _______, clapping her hands with delight. "Ah, but the flames never last long enough!" The minute they died down a little, she shivered and huddled herself in her absolutely simple white mink cloak.
