morning, Mr. White went for a walk in the park and came home at half past twelve for lunch.
One morning a police car stopped outside Mrs. White’s house at twelve o’clock and

gentleman lost his way in the park and telephoned us for help. So they decided to send a car
to bring him home.”

“Grandfather, you have been to that park nearly every day for twenty years. How did
