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. "I'll build that brick fence around my place when I have time", Tom s----------.
-2. "I'm such an awesome painter that I don't bother with primer or undercoat", said Tom, l----- i- o- t----.
-3. “My last performance on stage was really demanding”, said Tom e---------.
-4. "The man from the chip manufacturer is really clever", said Tom i------------.
-5. "I would help my orienteering friends in a heartbeat if ever they got lost," said Tom c--------------.
-6. "Well, we don't call them potato chips over here", said Tom c------.
-7. I don't really want to comment on Catherine's food store", said Tom d---------.
-8. "I'm not a terribly good exorcist," said Tom d-----------.
-9. "Linear equations usually have the same unknown", said Tom, w-----.
-10. "Too bad I can't castle now!" said Tom in C----.

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

The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.

An excellent selection, everyone! Time has not dulled your senses lol

Slight mathematical licence, Denis = the old linear equation y = mx + c
