This puzzle is a little similar to a previous one of mine: An unexpected storyteller
In the story, you are ultimately looking for 26 words. Although finding all the words is part of the puzzle, the real goal is to answer two main questions:
1. What do all the words have in common?
2. What's special about the order of the words?
I once met a deceiver, who was arrested for not repaying the money he owed. In court, he was formally accused of the crime and despite trying to look attractive, he spasmed every time he lied. He had stolen an old British coin, but his alibi was that his mother had begun coughing thick mucous from the lungs after she was startled by an apparition.
They called the owner of the company he worked for as witness, he told the court that the man had once left his Dutch rice table dinner early and he was a scoundrel for doing so. The judge reminded the owner that they were not here to chat and so the witness told him that had a condition where his brain could not forget and so he knew it was a French man, or possibly more than one person, who stole the brilliant blue gem.
After hearing such nonsense, the judge was forced to release the man, who left for a gambling ship to play a card game which sounded like 500. It was held in the crew's living quarters, with a man who was British nobility and a missionary who had deposits on his teeth. The man produced a coin worth 10 of what he was accused of stealing, and made double his money on the game.
He decided to spend his winnings on a trip to a French suburb, where he could ask a higher power for help and eventually meet up with the woman of his dreams
