Three reporters called to interview Ben, two of them kittenish young girls.
On the fourth awful day Ben gave out the news – news to him and to me as well as to our host and hostess – that he had lost a filling which he would not trust any but his own New York dentist to replace.
Ben swore he would pay no more visits until he could think up a graceful method of curtailing them in the event they proved unbearable.
I’m afraid that’s impossible.
It would be very hard for him to rest there in the city, with the producers and publishers and phonograph people calling him up all the time.
I’ll promise you faithfully that you won’t be disturbed at all.
Ben took it quiet cheerfully.
You came to us for a rest and we’re not going to start you off uncomfortable.
Ben was wedged between us and throughout the drive maintained a morose silence, unable to think of anything but how terrible his coat would look when he got out.
Entire score must be rewritten half tone lower.

2. Put the right form of the adjectives and adverbs in brackets.
And they were honestly _____(congenial) people we ever met.
