wife. She said she hadn’t ___2___ it, and told him it was probably under his nose,

if the child was going to be all right, but __18____ to do anything except
wait. Then the screaming stopped and the doctor came back. “____19___ you
brought him quickly. The tablets didn’t have time to dissolve in his stomach,
so we got them all out. He’s going to be all right.” They took David home, and
bought a bathroom cabinet with a ___20____ on it the next day.
