Suddenly from the back of the dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her. “Good morning,lady.” the man said in a low voice, “I don’t think you wish to  3 here!” “What do you want?” “Your earrings. Take them  4 !”

The earrings cost 2000 pounds and the necklace which the robber had taken away cost only six pounds.
