He (7) believed his wife (8) was sitting behind him.

Mrs Harris (9) found herself on the road alone.

She (15) began to cry as she (16) had no money, and she (17) did not know Dutch.

People (18) thought she (19) had lost something so they (20) took her to the police station.

Meanwhile, Harris (21) was cycling with great pleasure. But soon he (22) felt wrong. He (23) looked back but (24) saw nobody there.

While thinking how to find his wife he (25) met some local people. They (26) were sure he (27) would find his wife at the police station. There he (28) was asked when, where and why he (29) had lost his wife.

The meeting of Mr Harris and his wife (30) was not a tender one.
