    Mr Sherlock Holmes (sit) one morning at the breakfast table in his room in Baker
    Street. His friend Dr* Watson (stand) near the window, examining a
    walking stick which a visitor (forget)
    the day before. "To Dr Mortimer, from his friend," was engraved upon
    it, with the date "1884". Sherlock Holmes suddenly (turn) to Watson and (say): "The
    owner of this stick (have) a dog
    which (be) larger than a terrier and
    smaller than a mastiff."

    "How you (know)?" (ask) Watson in surprise.

    "I (examine)
    that stick carefully and (notice) the
    marks of a dog's teeth on it," (answer)
    Holmes. "They (be) too broad for
    a terrier and not broad enough for a mastiff. Probably the dog often (carry) the stick behind its master. I
    think it must be a spaniel, in fact it (be)
    a spaniel."

    Holmes (leave)
    the breakfast-table and (stand) near
    the window as he (say) this. Watson (look)
    at him in surprise and (ask):
    "How can you be so sure of that?"

    "For the simple reason that I (see) the
    dog at our door and I (hear) the bell
    which its master (ring). I wonder why
    Dr Mortimer (want) to see Mr Sherlock
    Holmes. Well, we soon (know). Come
    in," he (add), there (be) a knock at the door.
