In which I participate in David Abrams’s “Sunday Sentence” project, sharing the best sentence I’ve read during the past week, “out of context and without commentary.”

Vert (green), verre (glass), ver (worm), vers (toward), and vair (squirrel fur) constitute a quintuple homophone, not even counting verts, verres, and vers.
