O A Granville would smile while scrawling his lists, gesturing frequently with his
quill, and showing great satisfaction in rustling each sheaf of paper on his
elaborately carved mahogany desk. (paragraph 2)
OB. "Why, you're about as good a conversationalist as this here piece of
furniture!" Granville snickered to Zeb one morning, as Zeb stood silently
awaiting his tasks. (paragraph 3)
OC. It infuriated Zeb that he could not tell Granville what he really felt, but he kept
silent, knowing staying in Granville's good graces would help him in the long
run. (paragraph 3)
OD. Careful, he admonished himself, be careful. Stay silent, just for now, and
maintain the mask of meek submission. (paragraph 6)
