32.   He is sitting at our camp now, holding a mug of our tea, relaxing on a canvas chair.

33.   He just sat at a table ticking off numbers all day long.

34.   He merely sat at the coffee counter there, hour after hour, alone.

35.   He sat at a plain wooden desk.

36.   He sat at an ordinary table, to which the plates were clipped, as aboard ship in a rough sea.

37.   He sat at his desk and took out the lonely hearts advert he had placed in the magazine a few months before.

38.   He sat at his desk, not a hair out of place, and turning a pencil over in his hand.
