But Sally changed the subject. "This drink tastes delicious. How did you make it?" — "I put a drop of ginger ale
and a piece of lemon in the alcohol and then ....... thoroughly."
Andrew showed him the headlines: "Petrol prices rise again" — "But you haven't got a car" said his friend — "I
know" retorted Andrew — "still it means everything ....... will go up in price, too."
Naturally he had his umbrella with him and a heavy coat ....... that aphorism his mother always used: "Never
cast a clout (remove an article of clothing) before May is out."
If you take the first left after the post office, you come to Sally's place and if you take the second ....... to the
right after that you come to the cottage where Andrew lives.
But you must remember that two years ago the two main characters hadn't met, which was surprising when
you consider the close ....... of Andrew's cottage and Sally's.
Now Sally is an entirely different kettle of fish. Her philosophy runs as follows: "Worrying never gets you
anywhere and life is too short to ....... time imagining the worst."
