1) a gas-filled bag flying upward & a barroom full of tedious dullness 2) compassionate disease-causing organisms & male and female, for examples 3) a count of highways & a mass meeting of warty amphibians 4) a rigid surgical dressing made of a pungent yellow condiment & a pole on a ship used for supporting sails made of a baked or frozen sweetened mixture of milk and eggs What Next?
