She found some good quality pipes on sale -- and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not【S8】______for long: although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please him.
    When she got home, with her small well-chosen present【S9】______in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially【S10】______mood, "Your father has at last to decide to stop smoking." She informed her daughter.
