Still left:

7. "In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, covering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster."
11. "Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away."
17. "The Browns have become illustrious by the pen of Thackeray and the pencil of Doyle, within the memory of the young gentlemen who are now matriculating at the universities." Shayne - Tom Brown's Schooldays Author?
18. "Way out at the end of a tiny little town was an old overgrown garden, and in the garden was an old house, and in the house lived xxxx xxxx."
19. "On a bright December morning long ago, two thinly clad children were kneeling upon the bank of a frozen canal in Holland."
