A few days ago, I was having a meeting in my company. After walking out, I
36 for my car keys in my pocket, only to discover they were not there.
37 , I gave myself a quick personal pat

39 of my pockets. So, I went back to the meeting room and looked for them in every place
_ 40_I had been. Suddenly it occurred to me that I must have left them in the car. Worried and frightened, I quickly

53 , I said, “In that case, would you please come and
54 your dear husband?”
Diane answered, “I will... just as soon as I can have this policeman
55 I didn’t steal your car.”
