More Tom Swifties.(For example "I'll have a martini," said Tom, drily.) As ever, grovelling apologies for any re-runs

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·

As ever, an asterisk represents a "real" hyphen.

One answer each for first 24 hours, please.

-1. "My chicken's gone bald," said Tom, c------------.
-2. "I've stopped treading the boards," said Tom e---------.
-3. "My cloning experiment was a success," said Tom, b----- h------.
-4. "If you want to be a builder, I'll help all I can," said Tom c-------------.
-5. "My cruise departure has been moved from Liverpool to Southampton," Tom r-------.
-6. "Someone's killed Polly," said Tom, d----------.
-7. "I'm really good at soccer," Tom d-------.
-8. "It will be decided for me whether to play golf or go see Hamlet," Tom f-----------.
-9. "It's not sodium hydroxide," Tom l---.
-10. "This is a boring argument," said Tom p----------.

I thought that too, Bob - nice solve, CCB grin

Lex, Bob - see where you going to, but nope sad

Lex - what sort of animal often bears the name Polly?

Bob - a short word for "argument" might help...
