It happened while Mr Harris and his wife sitting on the
tandem behind him (cycle)1 through Holland) The roads (be)2
stony and the bicycle often (jump).3 “Sit tight,” (say)4 Harris to
his wife, without turning his head) But Mrs Harris (think)5 he
(say)6 “Jump down!” Why she (think)7 he (say)8 “Jump down!”
neither of them (can)9 (explain)10 later. Mrs Harris (jump
down)11 while Harris (go on)12 thinking that she (sit)13 still
behind him. At first she (think)14 he (want)15 simply (show)16
his skill and (return)17 when he (reach)18 the hill. But when he
(pass)19 the hill and (disappear)20 in the wood she began (cry)21
as she (have)22 no money, and she (not know)23 Dutch. People
(think)24 she (lose)25 something so they (take)26 her to the
police station. Meanwhile, Harris (cycle)27 with great pleasure.
But soon he (begin)28 (feel)29 that something (go wrong).30 He
(look back)31 but (see)32 nobody there. While he (think)33 how
(find)34 his wife he (meet)35 some people who (advise)36 him
(go)37 to the police. There he (ask)38 when, where and why he
(lose)39 his wife and (promise)40 help. Their meeting (be)41 not
a tender one, as Mrs Harris (say)42 she (never be)43 so furious
in her life.
