"Forgo?" quoth Bentley, dismayed.
"Nay," replied Shielah, twirling her ham-roll in a most eccentric fashion. "Forgo not to peer within."
Wherewith, the entire cast assembled withal.

A snippet of conversation overheard at a party:
I will forgo the cheesecake at this time; I'll just have coffee.
I am dismayed that you don't want my lovely cheesecake.
I agree that your cheesecake is peerless and wonderful, but I'm simply full.
Look at Sharon - she put ketchup on her cheesecake... she's so eccentric!
Yes, that would cause quite an uproar if you served it that way.
The party would skid to a halt as people ran for the doors.
I hope nobody's eavesdropping on us; they'll think we're drunk!

forgo: "If you forgo item # 2, your paper will be canceled. That item is essential in the test."
dismay: "After trying a hundred times, Ray failed to convince Paula to return to him. He is torn up, depressed, and in dismay."
peer: "Peer-learning is very effective." (Your peers are your colleagues or school mates who are almost your age.)
eccentric: "Edgar Alan Poe was an eccentric writer" Eccentric views are extreme views. Your point of view becomes eccentric when it is odd, weird, unusual, unconventional or unorthodox - but not necessarily bad or wrong.
up: Are you sure you want this in a sentence? "Well, cheer up! It's just a dream."

This may "dismay" you, but I have no intention of marrying you."
I'm supposed to get a vacation but I will "fore go" it if my boss will pay me.
