Sandman kolléga történetének is vége kell, hogy legyen egyszer, és miért ne legyen most az egyszer? Nézhettek a monitorra, mint léggömbárus a nyílvesszőre, attól a tény tény marad. A lényeg, hogy a folytatásos történetek, mint pl. ez itt egy olyan módszertani pluszt adnak, amiből minden fájdalomcsillapítózó (aspiring, bocs) tanerő képes, akár fémipari előismeretek nélkül is, előnyt kovácsolni. Ezt Rátok bízom.
"Well, now," Madame Holle finished. "Your explorations in these mountains have not been a (1) ________ of time! So off you go, and remember what I've told you today!"
We shook her hand and thanked her. She took us outside, where we found a considerable covering of snow. It was not going to be easy to find our way.

But the farmhouse was really gone, and where it (4) _________ stood we found only undisturbed snow.

After a cold night in the tent, surrounded by snow, we quickly (5) ________ our way back down to the village so we could write down what we had learned. This was clearly what the Sandman wanted, for why else would he have allowed everything to be revealed to us?
When we got to the village inn the atmosphere seemed to be (6) __________ more hostile than when we had left the week before. It was obvious that the spies sent by the sleeping pill manufacturers felt that we had discovered something important.
Because (7) _________ was no bus that day, and the village had no trains, we had to spend the night at the inn. But as we were going up to our room Mario the waiter stopped us on the stairs and whispered: "You must get away from here! They are planning to rob you in your room at midnight. Madre di dio! Those rascals won't stop at anything! I'll come to get you as soon as it (8) _________ to get dark."
We waited, depressed about this (9) _________ of events, until Mario arrived silently. He took our bags, led us down the stairs, and waited until there was no one in the hallway. Then he motioned urgently for us to slip past the door of the barroom, where the clattering plates indicated that the evening meal was being (10) __________.
The back of the building was deserted. He led us through an old stable door to the outside and showed us a pathway that (11) __________ take us past the village to the road. Then he said with a wink, "I hope you will write a bellissimo book about everything, signori. But first make (12) ____________ you don't get caught!"
