A story using the words above

 

Hobbling into the room, John belched and retorted gruffly, his voracious appetite unsatisfied. His sister slathered butter on bread and scowled at him. The pervasive smell of food seeped through the house. He feigned innocence but knew he had broken their family tenet. She berated him for his disdainful actions.

Feeling aloof, he sat alone, his thoughts ignited with regret. In retrospect, he knew he'd been untamable, always plundering the kitchen. The exquisite porcelain plate he'd broken lay soiled, and his knickers were wadded up on the floor. Pervasive guilt filled him. He couldn’t abide his actions anymore.
