1.   A man stood in the tiny galley.

2.   A man stood watching me from the other side of the road.

3.   A man stood, rakish and upright, and stared at the fences.

4.   A man was standing on the roof, watched by a crowd of onlookers below.

5.   A third man was standing on the far side of the car.

6.   An attractive man stands by the door, glasses and a brown mustache, reading Barbara Pym.

7.   As the train slows, the man stands and walks to the closed doors at the middle of the car.

8.   Before them stood a little man about the same size as the Munchkins.

9.   I looked towards the stone angel where the plump man had been standing, but there was no sign of him.

10.   Just a few words, but there was a nod of understanding, the briefest pause, before the two men stood.
