John, look at the time. ______ you play the piano at such a late hour ?
— My sons are not a little restless.— Oh? Boys _______ be boys.
— Why didn’t you give a hand to the boy?— I _______, but he strggled to his feet before I tried to.
—You didn’t invite Mary to the ball?—____ her, too?
—She joined a football team last fall and was recently made captain. —Never _____ she'd ever have that much energy.
I ____ you, but I didn’t think you would listen to me.
