Hura liked Rim (1).  Rena wanted arrows (5), so her favorite was not 
Thurnock (3).  Rena watched at least 7 ehn (5), so her favorite was not 
Marlenus (4), and she didn't favor Bosk (5); she liked Arn.  Rena did not 
watch 7 ehn (4) or 9 (6); she watched 8.  Mira watched 7 and Sandra watched  
5 (2,5).  Hura did not watch 6 (4); she watched 9.  Verna watched for 6 ehn 
and liked Marlenus (4).  The girl who watched 7 ehn wanted manacles (4).  
One girl likes Thurnock and the whip (3); this was Sheera.  Mira liked Bosk. 
  Hura didn't want the knife (6); she wanted the candies and Verna got the 
knife.

Rena, 8 ehn, Arn, arrows
Verna, 6 ehn, Marlenus, knife
