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·

-1. "!" Tom e--------.
-2. "I've read all Shakespeare's works," said Tom w-------.
-3. "What a charming doorway!" said Tom, e--------.
-4. "I've transferred my money back into my German savings account," Tom r-------.
-5. "I organized that big party for the prisoners," Tom c--------.
-6. "I've got to fix the automobile," said Tom m-----------.
-7. "The voltage is ample," said Tom p----------.
-8. "The eclipse is starting," said Tom d-----.
-9. "What are you taking pictures of?" Tom s------.
-10. "Yes, I have read Gulliver's Travels," said Tom s------.
-11. "I've changed my name to Al," said Tom's friend Hal, e------------.
-12. "How do you start a model-T Ford with a flat battery?" asked Tom 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.

Michele, Jema, Flo - all good answers! smile

Joan - you're one letter short, but your answer is just as good as mine (probably better!), so you get a special gold star as consolation wink

Bob - like Redz, you're also one letter short, and your answer is as good as mine.

So a gold star for you, too! lol
