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. "It's a black hole", said Tom with e------ g------.
-2. "One of my ancestors used to be Pope", said Tom i---------.
-3. "I'll defend my old Plymouth against all comers", said Tom v--------.
-4. "I'm against the method we used before circuit-breakers", said Tom c----------.
-5. “I think someone electrified the corridor,” said Tom h--------.
-6. “I'm sure it's two, two, two mints in one,” said Tom c--------.
-7. "It's obvious that I killed the Jabberwock", sais Tom d-----------.
-8. "It's me, His Majesty Joseph," said Tom j-------.
-9. "It's just a little melody I've composed", said Tom a-----.
-10. "Yes, I agree - that stallion has to be put down", Tom e-------.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
