21.  A colleague and I are currently involved in considering major changes in a very large organization.

22.  A collective sigh of relief seemed to whistle from every pore of the house as I walked away.

23.  A contact lens holder - I recognized it, Mum wears them - still with the lenses in them.

24.  A cordon of stagehands appeared from nowhere and surrounded me as I stepped out of the car.

25.  A couple of stiff drinks and a bowl of soup afterwards was about all I could cope with.

26.  A couple of years afterwards I bumped into her in a supermarket.

27.  A court case was brought when I was twelve.

28.  A crook if I ever saw one.

29.  A discussion I overheard concerned the merits of an airing cupboard as winter quarters for fly-traps.
