Mrs. Hammond told him, and the man took her to her house. She told the man how  16  she was that she had met him. But the man said, “I want to  17  you. ”

Mrs. Hammond asked, “Whatever for?”

“Well, ” the man said quietly,  “I was balanced on the edge of that bridge for ages in the   18  , because I was trying to make up my mind to  19  myself into the river and drown myself.   20  I’m not going to do it now. ”
