Too Easy

Friday's word was 'charlatan.' We didn't get around to our sentences until last evening. Part of the problem was, 'charlatan' is just too easy-- there are so many of them these days! But we must move forward and so, 

after we had had our fill of beef ribs,

we read our sentences:

Mrs. Cleo was not a psychic; she was nothing more than a charlatan.

--Daughter C

Much to my dismay, the snake oils salesman was a charlatan.

--Marica

Though skeptical of the charlatan to the right of her, she was positively terrified of his colleagues to the left of her.

--A. Leland

For shame: to cower before a two-bit charlatan and fail to execute your civic duties!

--Mr. Big Food
