1. "We must be driving in the wrong direction. The places are not familiar to me. Can the driver have lost his way?" - "I don't think so. He must have taken another route which is not familiar to us. We'd better ask him where he's driving to. He may not have understood us." 2. Before Mrs. Clowes went to the new dentist, she made inquiries about his qualifications. On inquiry she decided that he was the very man she needed. 3. Mr. Cowlishaw suggested filling the tooth. She insisted on having it out. Mr. Cowlishaw felt that she was a difficult person to deal with. 4. Mr. Cowlishaw said he had had a lot of experience in taking out teeth, but Mrs. Clowes had grave doubts about it. However, she could do nothing but resume her seat in the chair and hope for the best. Mr. Cowlishaw told her to hold tight to the chair. Mrs. Clowes was scared. However, she pulled herself together. 5. It was Mr. Cowlishaw who fainted from nervous excitement. It took him a long time to come to.

HOW MR. PICKWICK LOST HIS WAY IN THE INN'

1. Sam showed (conducted) Mr. Pickwick to his room. "Here's your room, sir. If you need something (anything), call me, sir."

The room was warm and cosy. There was a bright fire (a bright fire was burning) in the grate. No doubt Mr. Pickwick would have spent a quiet night there if nothing, had happened. But this is what happened.

In the inn Mr. Pickwick had met his old friends. They had had a wonderful time together, and Mr. Pickwick was in a good mood. On entering (when he came to) his room he discovered that he had left his watch downstairs, in the parlour, where he had spent such a pleasant evening. "I wish I were not so absent-minded," he thought. For a moment he hesitated whether he should go downstairs at once cr wait till morning (came). "I'd better go immediately," he decided.

It was his favourite watch and he never parted with it. He liked to hear it tick by him. If Mr. Pickwick had known what he would have to go through he would not have gone to the parlour alone; he would have called his servant.

2. The thing was that the inn was famous for its long and gloomy passages. 'Anyone who came to stay at it had difficulty in finding his own room on the first day. Naturally Mr. Pickwick lost his way in the passages the moment he left his room. No matter how hard Mr. Pickwick tried to remember the way he had taken to get to his room after supper, his efforts were in vain (Mr. Pickwick tried in vain to remember the way...'). "I wish I had called Sam. If I had done so, it would have saved me a lot of trouble." He was in panic. On top of that his candle went out and Mr. Pickwick found himself in complete darkness.

3. Quite by chance he stumbled (came) upon the parlour. The watch lay where he had left it.

His way back to his room was like a nightmare. In one of the passages he saw a door which was ajar. The door seemed familiar to him. He entered. Without doubt it was his room. He went over to the bed and began to undress. You can well imagine his horror when a minute later he saw somebody carrying a candle enter the room! He nearly fainted when he saw that there was a woman in the room. "I wonder what she is doing here," thought Mr. Pickwick, looking.out from behind the curtains of the bed. "I should have locked (I wish I had locked) the door. I wish

I were not so absent-minded," he said again. It did not even occur to him that he had got (might have got) into another person's room (into the wrong room).

4. The woman pointed to the door and demanded that he should leave the room immediately. Mr. Pickwick understood nothing. "What does she mean? Why does she insist that I should leave my own room?" Then he said in a firm voice, "I won't. I'd rather (I prefer to) stay here!"

"What! What did you say?!" she screamed with indignation. "I'll call the landlord." Only now did Mr. Pickwick understand that he had got into another person's room. Mr. Pickwick apologized: "I hope that you will not tell anyone of what has happened..." - "It all depends..." said the woman, slamming the door in his face.

5. There is no doubt that Mr. Pickwick would have wandered about the passages all night long (the whole night) if it had not been for Sam, who for some reason (for no apparent reason) had made up his mind to see what his master was doing. To his astonishment he saw Mr. Pickwick slowly creeping along a passage in the dark holding on to the wall. "What are you doing/sir?" - "Oh, is that you, Sam? Thank goodness, I have met you. I lost my way in these awful passages," Mr. Pickwick took hold (caught hold) of Sam's hand and did not let it go until they came to his room. The night's adventure (incident) had such an effect upon Mr. Pickwick that the poor gentleman did not have a wink of sleep lhat night (did not sleep a wink that night).
