145 maniacs2 in the old mansion3

Standing4 in front of the old mansion on the hill, one can only marvel5 at the mind of the architect who brought this artistry into being. Its execution was accomplished6 mostly with manual labor7, given the low level of mechanization in building technology in the 19th century. One wonders what kind of manual the architect might have used to fire his imagination. Huge slabs8 of marble were used liberally throughout the building on stairs, door friends, and the mantel of huge fireplaces in the drawing room. Sadly, the mansion nowadays is found on no map. It is empty, it is upkeep proving much too coarsely. She bar greasing in its grounce and the casual visitor is advised to tread carefully, so as not to step in sheet maneuver9. What is of putting to ordinary citizens can be of great interest to others? Such as a group of religious fanatics10 whose leader has been dawning the mantel of savior, all the better to manipulate and maneuver his disciples11, mostly drawing from the margins12 from society. Those young people would readily march to the tune13 of any charismatic figure. Little did those young people know that their mania1 would lead them to be mangled14 by one or other of the manifold manifestations15 of religious fervor16, displayed by their group, only to be used his cannon17 fauder in some weakened maneuver or other. Sure enough, great crimes were committed in the name of the cause, but as might be expected, most of the maniacs who have been apprehended18 maintain that they had a mandate19 from heaven, making it mandatory20 for them to read the world of evil. Fortunately, in some cases, the attackers’ intent is betrayed beforehand by their outrageous21 close mannerisms.
