Some of these are very clever and quite tough, so being all heart, I've given you first letter and length as a starter grin·

-1. "What do you get if you multiply time by speed?" asked Tom d--------.
-2. "I've lost my favourite spanner," said Tom w----------.
-3. "Shall I frost the cake?" Tom offered i----.
-4. "Ships ahoy!" said Tom f---------.
-5. "The heater is busted," Tom said c---------.
-6. "My floorboards are starting to decay again," said Tom n-----------.
-7. "This has been a grave undertaking," said Tom c----------.
-8. "This place is going to the dogs," Tom b-----.
-9. "I was attacked with a fire-iron," said Tom p-----f----.
-10. "I think this Welsh non-believer is ill, said Tom d-------------.

(The coloured hyphen in number 9 means a real hyphen in the answer...)
