"What is it, honey?"
"I need some help with my science experiment," he said, handing Jane a marker and a piece of paper.
"What's this for?"

At noon, Sharon walked through the door cradling a darling black bundle.
"Oh!" i said. "The pup was still there?"
"Of course, Mum," Sharon replied. "I tied it up!"
