Tom's Tuesday Ten - 05/03/16 07:19 PM

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

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

One answer each for first 24 hours, please.

-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-------------.
