Today my mom had me do three vocabulary worksheets. Here are my answers:
Vocabulary I:

As a wise man once said, “Astronomical!”
“Your eminence, given that sneezes are more common than murders...”
“The occasion is that his eminence has recovered from the flu.”
“The furrier is at the door, your eminence. He is so happy that you have gotten better!”
“That hooligan? I will not allow that man in my house again!”
“Letting furriers into one’s house is a pernicious habit.”
“But he is your colleague!”
He chortled.
“That man is a public enemy. Besides, he probably has tuberculosis!”
Vocabulary II:

“Your eminence, the furrier has just destroyed the synagogue!”
“And he is a quisling too, correct?”
“How did you know, your eminence? Oh, and I have a hemorrhage from my head.”
“Let us sing the National Anthem in honor of our dear hemorrhaged friend.”
“Your eminence, the furrier has arrived to deliver an eulogy.”
“Must I suffer the ignominy of having that man at my door?”
“Your eminence, shall I catalogue all the crimes that furrier has committed?”

“Why? Is it too extravagant?”
“No. Though it is a rather fancy design—Semitic or Japanese. I am confiscating it because you killed your maid with it.”
“I exterminated her because she was rude to me.”
“If that is the truth, then the electric chair is but a prelude to your real troubles.”

“I should have done it more clandestinely.”
“Even then, some incriminating evidence would have turned up, your eminence.”
