As Janice quietly thumbed through the newspaper: Deeter prepared a hearty breakfast: the dog eagerly consumed the scraps of bacon that Deeter dropped on the newly waxed floor.

Hi. Even though you showed a text, you didn't show any questions about that text. However, when researching this text on the internet, I was able to find a question, which asked that the errors presented in this text be pointed out.

In this case, we can conclude that all punctuation that the text presents is incorrect.

The correct thing would be that between the words "newspaper" and "Deeter" there was a comma, since this clause presents a continuity of thought. Also, between the words "breakfast" and "the," there should be a period, as the word "breakfast" ends one of the narrators' thoughts and the word "the," starts another thought. In addition, the word "the" must be written with the capital letter "T", since every word, after a period, must start with a capital letter.

Finally, after the word "floor" a period should be placed, as this word ends a thought.

that’s the kind of bug henry was; and if we’d a had him along ’stead of our kings, he’d a fooled that town a heap worse than ourn done.”
