How to use "didn" in a sentence

That was a clear message to stay away! But you were in such a hurry to finish the hike you didn't stop and check.

But I didn't tell anyone exactly where I was going, so it will take the police days to find me

'Why didn't we just get his phone number?' Megan asked as they drove back to Moab.

I didn't tell anyone where I was going, I didn't go with Kristi and Megan to the west canyon, and I didn't get off the boulder when it moved.

I didn't try hard enough the last time

Why didn't I save it?

'He didn't come to the party last night,' Leona told him

'He didn't say much to any of us

He didn't say where, exactly.'

But there was something the officer didn't tell them: a person has to be missing for at least forty-eight hours before the police will start a search and rescue operation

I guess everyone missed me when I didn't arrive for Leona's party last night

It didn't even hurt and there's very little blood

I called him last week and left a message, but he didn't call back

When she read it to Officer Crider, she didn't realise it was wrong

I didn't like this idea, but I didn't say anything at the time.

A cannonball hit it, but it didn't move

Captain Farragut didn't know what to do.

I didn't do anything wrong

He surprised all of us, and we didn't say a word.

I stood in front of the window like a small boy at the zoo, and, believe me, I didn't feel at all like Captain Nemo's prisoner.

The Captain didn't seem at all worried.

Ned Land asked the Captain if we could go on land and hunt some animals because he didn't want to eat fish

This didn't surprise me at all

I didn't like the idea of sharks

I didn't do it for you."

But I didn't need to stop him

I didn't see him for several days

He didn't hear me go in

I left the Captain, but I didn't return to my room

She didn't stop and ask, 'How am I going to get out again?'

But she fell very slowly and didn't feel afraid

'That didn't hurt,' she said and sat up quickly

'Do you know the way out of this room?' The Mouse didn't answer.

In a race, somebody usually says,' One, two, three, go!' But the Dodo didn't do that

But she didn't

Alice didn't say, 'I'm not Mary Ann.' She felt too afraid

It didn't have the words 'DRINK ME' on it, but she drank from it.

'What will happen to me?' She waited for some time, but she didn't get bigger

She didn't feel well and she was very unhappy.

I didn't know that,' said Alice.

The Duchess didn't move

It didn't hit her, but she left the room quickly.

The cat didn't answer her

'But it didn't.'

'We didn't invite you to tea, but you came

But she didn't really understand.

But they didn't say anything.

The White Rabbit was there, but he didn't see Alice

The Knave of Hearts didn't know

She didn't look at the Cat

The Duchess didn't answer and started to run

'I didn't!' the March Hare said quickly.

But the Mouse didn't say anything, because he was asleep.

The cook didn't answer.

But then some boys hit me, and my Mom didn't want me to play with them again

But one girl, Jenny Curran, didn't run away, and sometimes she walked home with me

On the practice field, things didn't start very well

And then I told him something that he didn't want to hear.

I didn't like that place.

We didn't talk, but after about an hour, I asked, 'Can I try it?' and he said 'OK', and gave me the harmonica

'I didn't learn anywhere,' I said.

'I didn't learn anywhere,' I told her.

I didn't know where she was.

We could hear shooting all round us, but they didn't hit us

But I didn't get a reply.

It started to rain one day, and it didn't stop for two months! But we still had to look for enemy soldiers - and one day we found them

It didn't matter

He tried to clean it off and not look angry, but I didn't want to wait for them to start throwing things at me! No sir! I started running.

Later, the group - The Broken Eggs - arrived, but I didn't see Jenny

'I didn't leave school,' said Jenny

Rudolph didn't speak or open his eyes, but he put up his hand and smiled.

She was laughing and kissing me, and I didn't know what to do.

She didn't speak to me again that night

The other people - two men and a girl - didn't know what to say.

I told her how I felt - I was sorry about the girl, and I didn't want to play in the group without her

As it happened, I didn't stay in prison long, because they soon realized that I was an idiot, and they put me in a special hospital for idiots

His name was Sue (yes, I know it's a girl's name, but they sent a male ape up by mistake, and NASA didn't like to tell the newspapers that)

I went up behind her and said, 'That looks like a nice apple.' She didn't look up

People were watching us with strange looks on their faces, but it didn't matter

But at first I didn't say anything to Jenny.

I didn't listen

Well, I went into the hotel to watch them, but it was a special chess tournament and it cost five dollars to watch, so I didn't go into the chess room.

He didn't look up but, after a minute, he said, 'Perhaps you're right.'

No, things didn't go very well

He was a big man, with long black hair, and he didn't want to lose!

But I didn't stay long

I cried that night, but it didn't help.

What could I do next? I didn't know

'I knew that a baby was on the way when I left Indianapolis,' said Jenny, 'but I didn't want to say anything

I knew then that I didn't have an idiot for a son

I went into the insurance office, but I didn't speak to Mr Sampson

I didn't want to disturb him.'

You thought you could kill me for the two thousand pounds of the insurance policy, didn't you? You wanted to kill me with brandy, didn't you? But you wanted me to die quickly

Valjean was so tired that he fell asleep, fully-dressed, on top of the sheets, but he didn't sleep for long

'I honestly didn't know that you had lost your job, but I'll try to help you now

'I didn't come here to argue,' Javert said, stepping back nervously, afraid that Valjean was going to attack him

I'm surprised you didn't.'

'We'll know what to do about it.' And then, as he was going to leave the room, he turned to his wife and said, 'You know, it's lucky he didn't recognize me

Someone fired a gun and a bullet hit a wall just behind him, but he didn't care.

I was asked to post it, but I didn't

I didn't want you to get it

'Why didn't you say it yourself?' Marius demanded

'Why didn't you tell me that you were M

Madeleine and that you saved Javert's life at the barricade? Why didn't you tell me that I owed you my life?'

"So why didn't he run? Why wait here for us?"

I didn't," he manages to say

"Now, son, I told you that any man can listen, didn't I?" it says

The chief inspector told us to come, but he didn't say why."

But last night he didn't call for anything."

But when he didn't come to breakfast this morning, we began to worry." Smith looks at the clock

I suppose you didn't notice, but those two are having some sort of romantic affair."

And he wasn't a funny guy, and he didn't have much luck with the ladies

But Jimmy, poor, stupid Jimmy, didn't know that

"I didn't cheat!" Jimmy shouts, and he is angry now

"No, Mr Wynn! I didn't, I promise! I didn't, I don't cheat, I never cheat!"

"But, Mr Wynn, how did you know he cheated? We didn't see anything on the cameras," Clive asks.

"Yeah, he killed another one, didn't he? Last Friday, they reckon," the tallest of the kids says.

Sala was so busy staring that she didn't look where she was going, and stepped into water up to her ankles.

She didn't know where those words had come from

She didn't know how Cham could afford it, but he was always so kind and generous - it would be rude to ask

Gran didn't answer

"Gran, you never know! Maybe there are places outside the city that didn't get contaminated - where people survived."

I just thought you might be annoyed with me, and I didn't want to ruin our day."

"I didn't pay for it all."

"You didn't say you'd do it, did you?" she whispered.

you didn't see anyone else today, did you?"

He truly didn't believe the fruit came from another world beyond the city boundary - and she couldn't really blame him

They didn't have long to wait

"He didn't lift me."

But on the walkway home, he didn't talk as much as usual

"If I didn't have you, I'd sign up for Pod Life, I think."

Up on the roof, they talked about all the things that didn't really matter: what they'd eaten for dinner, the weather, Apat on the jumping machine..

But he didn't laugh.

Many of the other students still talked about nothing but Pod Life, but she didn't care.

Sala didn't know where to start

Cham was enthusiastic, but he didn't seem to think the news had anything to do with him

Leti smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes

Maybe he didn't dare.

Sala couldn't believe how much her life was suddenly changing, but she didn't try to discuss it with Cham

She arrived early and didn't have to wait in line, so in a few minutes, she was stretching her legs and then running mechanically, left-foot right-foot, on the machine.

Sala didn't look at her at first, but when the woman spoke, she recognized her voice at once.

Was this a trap? Where were they going? But the woman didn't look back; she wasn't going to wait

Sala half-wanted to rush home to tell Gran and Mom what had happened, but she didn't want to lose any of her remaining time with Cham

She was over an hour late for meeting him at the simulator center, and because her ultranet connection didn't come back on until she was almost there, she couldn't even call him or send him a message

But Wena knew that Sala had told Cham about the rose fruit, didn't she? Anyway, Sala needed to tell Cham to try and persuade him not to go into a pod.

When they had talked about it before, she had felt left out; not jealous, exactly, because she was sure that she didn't want to join them

It rained constantly, but Sala didn't really care; the dark, miserable skies matched her mood

She didn't mind that

It didn't seem quite right.

"I didn't say I was."

She didn't know what to say.

As she worked, she wondered why Cham didn't want her to talk to Wena

he's fine." Sala described how enthusiastic he'd been, but she didn't mention his warning

"Oh dear, I didn't mean to suggest that," said Gran.

She was at the kitchen table with Mom and Gran, but Apat was in his room, and she didn't want him to hear them.

She didn't know what to think anymore

Or he didn't, before he went into the pod."

Pm sure he didn't mean it

They didn't see the problem at all

She didn't want any more warnings, any more threats

He didn't ask her many questions; and although his avatar was looking at her, his eyes were glassy and unseeing.

Even when he took her in his arms, it didn't feel quite the same.

She didn't care what he thought

"Wena didn't tell you, did she?"

Cham's parents and sisters sat next to her, talking quietly, but she didn't join in

With her new strength of mind, she didn't think about the tears and hugs as she'd said goodbye

I thought you didn't like Monte Carlo.'

'Why didn't you tell me about this before?' he said.

I didn't expect all these people.'

'I didn't know what I was saying

'You didn't disturb me at all

'I didn't say anything, did I?' The man's eyes were full of fear

You didn't want to go over the rocks,' I answered.

'All right, I didn't

I didn't want to go to the other bay

'You broke it? Why didn't you say so when Frith was here? You'll have to explain to Mrs Danvers now.'

'I didn't do anything

I didn't tell anyone,' he said.

'But I'd rather you didn't tell Max about my visit

'You opened the shutter yourself, didn't you?' she said

'You wanted to see this room, didn't you? Now you are here, let me show you everything.'

I'm going to tell everyone that your dress didn't fit.'

'You wanted this to happen, didn't you? Are you pleased now? Are you happy?'

She didn't care

'Why didn't you tell me?' I whispered.

I didn't tell you

I didn't want to remind you of Rebecca.'

'I didn't want you to come,' Maxim said

Who made those holes in the planks? Rocks didn't do it

'You know Rebecca didn't kill herself

She didn't make those holes in the boat

Rebecca didn't kill herself

'I didn't see anything,' he said

She wanted to cry, needed to cry, but she didn't.

Right now, she didn't want to remember so clearly.

During the twelve years of their marriage, Tina had become a different and more complex person than she'd been on their wedding day, but Michael hadn't changed at all - and didn't like the woman that she had become

Heavy objects didn't just fall of their own accord in deserted rooms.

It didn't last long enough for Tina to identify the source, but there was a stealthiness about it

Tina searched the entire house, except for Danny's old room, but she didn't find an intruder

And that was another reason she didn't attempt to explain her and Michael's problems to Danny - she thought that their estrangement was only temporary

She didn't remember doing it

She didn't need that much time to shower, apply her makeup, and dress, so she decided to pack some of Danny's belongings

She was in such an excellent mood that she didn't think even the sight of his room would be able to bring her down, as it usually did

They didn't hike all the way into the true wilderness, just a reasonable distance off the beaten path, and they planned for every contingency

Nevertheless, she didn't want to live in Sacramento

She didn't even consider calling the police

But the Evans house didn't have an alarm system.

She didn't bother picking up the knife, because she was sure the problem wasn't an intruder

It didn't begin to melt; the room was cold.

But she didn't feel a draft.

But she didn't believe in ghosts

She believed in death and taxes, in the inevitability of slot-machine jackpots, in all-you-can-eat casino buffets for $5.95 per person, in the Lord God Almighty, in the truth of alien abductions and Big Foot, but she didn't believe in ghosts.

The closet doors closed with a jarring crash - but they didn't open again

Vivienne had to remind herself that she didn't believe in ghosts.

Free admission didn't guarantee their appreciation or even their amicability

Tina didn't get home from the opening-night party until shortly before two o'clock Wednesday morning

Back in bed, she didn't want to turn off the light

Right now, however, she didn't feel up to the battle

She didn't dream anymore, and when she woke at ten o'clock, she was refreshed and newly excited by the previous night's success.

Unless he'd changed shifts in the past six months, he didn't go to work until noon

He still didn't answer

Her original intention had been to accuse him of ripping apart Danny's room; she had been prepared to come on strong, so that even if he didn't want her to know he'd done it, he might be rattled enough to reveal his guilt

"Somebody broke in three times but didn't steal anything?"

She didn't think he was lying now

She didn't know what to say.

The insufferable bastard! She was furious, but she said nothing; she didn't trust herself to speak, afraid that she would start screaming at him the instant she opened her mouth.

He didn't tell her directly, but his behavior said as much

"Michael-" she began, intending to tell him that she was going to stage another show within the next year, that she didn't want to be represented by only one production at a time, and that she even had distant designs on New York and Broadway, where the return of Busby Berkeley - style musicals might be greeted with cheers.

She said, "I didn't make up that story about someone breaking into the house just so you could play the strong, reliable man to my weak, frightened female

Jesus, I was babbling like an idiot, wasn't I? I didn't let you do it your way

It was you who didn't come home at night

But did you ever stop to realize what effect your absences had on Danny? If you loved family life so much, why didn't you spend all those weekends with your son?"

You could have taken Danny away for the weekend if you didn't want to be near me

But you didn't want it

And as it turned out, Danny didn't have much time left."

That was scary because it didn't make sense

Which meant it had to be someone she didn't even know

The view of the legendary boulevard was wasted on Tina; she didn't often make use of it

She didn't want to look at the screen again, but she did

It was hot in her throat, but it didn't burn away the chill at the center of her.

She didn't expect him to answer

She didn't remember finishing her cognac

"But I'm sure I didn't imagine it

I didn't dwell on it when I was alone, like I'd done for so long

"You didn't? Why not?"

They didn't think it was a good idea for me or Michael to see it

But maybe Danny didn't die in that accident

He didn't hesitate

"What if you cooked something for me, and I didn't like it?"

As he showed her through the house, he was eager to hear her reaction to it, and she didn't make him wait long.

Then, when I had the money, I didn't want some stranger furnishing it for me

"I didn't realize you'd lost your wife," Tina said

"And I didn't even notice the feathers."

She told herself that sex was just like riding a bicycle, impossible to un learn, but the frivolousness of that analogy didn't increase her self-confidence.

But Tina herself didn't think there was any serious danger, and Elliot tended to agree with her

The malicious tormentor wanted her to suffer mental anguish and spiritual pain; but he didn't want her to die, because that would spoil his fun.

He spent an hour and a half in his library, paging through legal casebooks, boning up on precedents for the exhumation of a body that, as the court had put it, "was to be disinterred in the absence of a pressing legal need, solely for humane reasons, in consideration of certain survivors of the deceased." Elliot didn't think Harold Kennebeck would give him any trouble, and he didn't expect the judge to request a list of precedents for something as relatively simple and harmless as reopening Danny's grave, but he intended to be well prepared

Elliot didn't want to ask Kennebeck for a favor within hearing of a dozen lawyers, and today there was nowhere in the house where they could be assured of privacy

Elliot didn't tell the judge about the malicious prankster, for that seemed like an unnecessary complication; he still believed that once the fact of Danny's death was established by the exhumation, the quickest and surest way of dealing with the harassment was to hire a first-rate firm of private investigators to track down the perpetrator

The conversations were like those in which he was involved at work, eight or ten hours a day, five days a week and he didn't intend to spend a holiday nattering about the same damned things.

But he didn't appear to be nervous at all.

Elliot met the stranger's eyes and didn't look away.

Elliot didn't move an inch

He wanted them to think that guns didn't scare him

The gun wavered, but it didn't move off target far enough to give Elliot a chance.

Besides, though they both struck him as slightly wacky, they didn't seem to be merely hoaxers or borderline psychopaths who got their kicks by scaring defenseless women

She didn't open the door

This was a bizarre notion, and she didn't know where it had come from, but she couldn't dispel it.

Elliot had a pretty good idea of what it would feel like, and he was sweating under his arms and in the small of his back, but he didn't move, and he didn't respond to the stranger's taunting.

He ran to the kitchen phone, snatched up the handset, and realized that he didn't know her number

She had given it to him two nights ago, at the party after the premiere of Magyck! She didn't live far from him

She didn't know what to make of the damned thing.

The spirit world? Visions? Clairvoyant experiences? She didn't believe in any of that psychic, supernatural stuff

At least she'd always thought she didn't believe in it

"You didn't let him in?"

"Who're you?" the pituitary-challenged behemoth asked in a soft, gentle voice that didn't equate with his appearance.

Tom Polumby didn't appear to be worried by their presence in his garage; he seemed merely perplexed

He had his law degree, but he didn't want the hassle of a day-to-day legal practice

"I didn't say anything about what you'd choose if it were up to you

a new kind of energy you didn't have this morning."

I know I didn't

That was a bizarre thought, not at all the sort of notion he'd ordinarily get in his head, and he didn't like it.

He didn't say anything.

He knew exactly what she meant, but he didn't want to think about it, because there was no way he could make sense of it

"In case you didn't know it, since the Cold War ended and California took such a big hit in the defense downsizing, Nevada has more Pentagon-supported industries and installations than any state in the union

By unspoken agreement, Tina and Elliot didn't talk about their problems while they ate

In fact, they didn't talk much at all

The coffin was sealed when it arrived, and we didn't open it."

They didn't

"But I didn't get a chance to pack that suitcase," Tina said

They didn't realize how lucky they were

"Hey, Al, I didn't touch the thermostat

"I didn't touch it," Jenny insisted.

Al didn't believe her, but Tina did.

He was confused by the change in her demeanor, but she didn't want to explain things to him here in the diner

Jaborski, Lincoln, and all the other boys might have died in the Sierras, but Danny didn't

I don't know why they didn't kill him

"If fear and stress could increase the power of his psychic gifts, why didn't he start trying to get in touch with you months ago?"

I even tried to justify some of his actions, because I didn't want Danny to hate him

What had happened to Danny might still prove to be terrible, shattering, but she didn't think it would be as hard to accept as his "death" had been

He tried to appear intently interested in the outcome of this game, but in fact, he didn't care

He didn't want to attract the attention of the omnipresent casino security men, and the easiest way to escape their notice was to appear to be the least threatening hick in the huge room

Furthermore, keno was a game that didn't have any appeal for either smart gamblers or cheaters, the two types of customers who most interested the security men

Perhaps Evans didn't know about the explosion at his former house

Or maybe he did know and just didn't give a damn about his ex-wife

Alexander didn't want to hear it

"Hey, you didn't get me mixed up in it

You didn't twist my arm

"They probably didn't," Kennebeck said

For the first time in his experience, the sight of this bottled fleet didn't calm him.

"He didn't crash

"You were so sure they didn't know a thing about the Sierra labs," Alexander said

We put a freeze on his application with the Bureau of Immigration, and we threatened to have him deported if he didn't do what we wanted

He didn't like it

He's more important because he's a human being, not because he's a source of data, Dombey thought angrily, but he didn't voice the thought because it would have identified him as a dissident and as a potential security risk.

If he's subjected to many more of these sudden temperature fluctuations, we'll never be certain they didn't contribute to his death

He didn't have any choice but to commit the installation to it once we found out the damn Chinese were deeply into it

"Why didn't you stop?"

He didn't lock the doors, because it was possible that he and Tina would need to get into the car in a hurry when they returned.

But she kept pace with him, and she didn't complain.

Tina didn't have to be told to remain silent

They embraced, and then she said, "If they knew we were flying to Reno, why didn't they follow us from the airport? Then they would have known we weren't going to walk in the front door of Bellicosti's place."

And I guess they were so sure of where we were headed, they didn't think it was necessary to keep a close watch on us

He didn't hear a shot, but a bullet shattered the rear side window behind his head and slammed into the back of the front seat, spraying gummy bits of safety glass through the car.

"I didn't say it was

"I wish we didn't have to give up the car," Tina said as he took their only suitcase out of the trunk.

Although Reno didn't jump all night with quite the same energy as Las Vegas, and although many tourists had gone to bed, the casino at Harrah's was still relatively busy

I didn't want to believe it at first."

"Why not? I didn't mean it negatively."

"I know you didn't

"I didn't do anything."

Kurt Hensen snorted in his sleep but didn't wake.

He didn't try to pretend otherwise with himself, no matter what face he had to present to the world

She felt almost as if she had him in her arms again, and she didn't want anyone to tell her that he might be a hair's breadth beyond her grasp.

Because of the foul-up at the Bellicosti place, George Alexander didn't get to bed until five-thirty Friday morning

Sandstone didn't have the faintest idea why they were in Reno or what they were seeking in the mountains.

Lunatics and just plain irrational people didn't intentionally try to amuse.

It didn't swoop and dart uncontrollably this time; it crept carefully, hesitantly across the paper, leaving a thin red line of ink like a thread of blood.

"We didn't," Tina said.

That's really what I most wanted to be, but I didn't really have the skill for it

They both felt as if they were on a good roll, and they didn't want to tempt fate by postponing their journey.

"I didn't know there were any."

"What if Danny didn't have anything to do with it? They might just be letting us in so they can trap us inside."

They didn't even hear gunfire.

They had to have some advantage he didn't know about

The fact that they had gotten this far unhurt didn't make Elliot feel any better about what lay ahead of them

"Well," Tina said, unsuccessfully trying to conceal her own anxiety, "we didn't need the snowshoes after all."

Elliot didn't want to shoot anyone

Blinking away tears, Elliot pointed the pistol at the older guard, who had drawn his revolver by now and had found that it didn't work either

The bullet didn't sever any major blood vessels."

He didn't want to tie the wounded man's hands, so they carefully moved him to a supply closet and locked him in there.

But Tina and Elliot didn't need the computer's authorization to use the elevator; not with Danny on their side

Danny didn't need to see her cry

If they felt they had some terrific new bug that we didn't know about, something against which we couldn't retaliate in kind, they'd use it on us."

"Except this Larry Bollinger didn't see it that way," Tina said bitterly

He didn't turn in an alarm

Jaborski didn't believe Bollinger's story for a minute, but he finally offered to take him to the wildlife center where a rescue effort could be mounted

He didn't want to die; he only wanted to know

Could this spot on Danny's brain have anything to do with the boy's psychic power? Were his latent psychic abilities brought to the surface as a direct result of the man-made virus with which he had been repeatedly infected? Crazy - but it didn't seem any more unlikely than that he had fallen victim to Project Pandora in the first place

But the lines didn't fade from Danny's forehead.

By this time, we had passed the one-year mark in the development process, and I knew we were not going to wind up with a usable script, so I didn't insist on discussing whether the rubber tires would melt off the vehicle within two hundred yards or three, or ponder at what point the gasoline tank might explode

After reviewing the chaos that he had inherited, the new head of network decided that even though Darkfall was an exciting script, he didn't want to make a movie "about little creatures living in the walls." He decided that we would film the other script I had done; for which I received primary credit but not sole credit because of Writers Guild rules virtually guaranteeing the first writer some kind of credit as long as that writer's drafts had been composed in one of the languages spoken on Earth.

He didn't like the black Americans, so during the Civil War he fought against the men from the North, and with those from the South

'I didn't understand what he meant, and nothing happened for a few weeks, so I did not feel so worried

The police said he killed himself, but I knew he was afraid to die, so I didn't think that was true.'

Of course I asked him to look carefully at the locked room, but we didn't find anything important.'

They decided it was an accident, but I didn't agree

'And why didn't you come to me immediately? Your enemies have had almost two days to make a plan

They wanted to stop equality for black people and to kill anyone who didn't agree with them

Two left the country, but one didn't, so the K.K.K

'I didn't know your mother was looking for a fly,' I said.

'Andre! You tried that experiment with Dandelo, didn't you?'

'I was there, but I didn't want to disturb you.'

'Miss Marple didn't think he was.'

'Oh! I didn't mean I was going to put a knife in his back, though I'd thank anyone who did

I'm surprised the first Mrs Protheroe didn't kill him

Lettice didn't care about him at all

'But didn't you tell him that the study clock was always kept a quarter of an hour ahead?'

And yet, she didn't seem so much shocked as - frightened.'

'I didn't know there had been an arrest.'

'Lawrence Redding? Now I didn't think...'

'I didn't like him, of course

'I wonder why Miss Marple didn't hear it

'She didn't say anything about it, and she would have done if she had heard it.'

'Slack didn't find a silencer, and he asked Redding

At first Redding didn't seem to know what he was talking about, and then said he didn't use one

'He didn't have a pistol

And you didn't hear a shot?'

'I didn't hear a shot then,' said Miss Marple.

'Why didn't you tell Slack this last night?'

When she came in, I asked her, 'Mary, are you sure you didn't hear the shot yesterday evening?'

'The shot that killed old Protheroe? No, of course I didn't

'I didn't know that.'

'If he didn't do it, why did he say that he did?' said Slack

No, Miss Marple didn't think it had been louder, just different

'But I didn't see him.'

And that's why you didn't see your husband.'

'I didn't

'Nothing that you didn't hear.'

He left unwillingly, as though he had more to say but didn't know how to say it

'Oh! But they didn't, did they? Because I was in, you see.'

'Why didn't you want to see Mrs or Miss Protheroe?'

For Anne's sake.' He paused, then said, 'What are you doing in the woods, Vicar?' I didn't know what to say.

'She didn't,' said Miss Marple

'Because a short time afterwards she came back, and she didn't have the suitcase with her.'

She didn't hear any shot

And the 6.50 train was half an hour late! I didn't get home until half-past seven.'

'I didn't hear much,' she told him.

I will not allow it." It sounded as though the lady wanted to tell Mrs Protheroe something, and he didn't want her to

I didn't

'Then it looks,' said Lettice, 'as though she didn't speak the truth?'

'Perhaps they didn't know they were missing,' I suggested

'Why didn't you tell me?' I asked.

But it was true that I didn't know about Lawrence and Anne

But I have heard that she has said she was at home all the time and that she didn't answer the door because - well, she didn't want to see me!'

'I thought you didn't like him.'

'Mrs Protheroe walked past my garden, and she went to the study window and she looked in and she didn't see Colonel Protheroe.'

And Lettice told her that she didn't clean properly

But why didn't the stupid fellow destroy this one? It just proves he's guilty! Listen, that sounds like a car.' He went to the window

'Don't you think,' I said, 'that it might be better if Hawes didn't recover? We know the truth now and...'

'You didn't hear the shot?'

Father and I didn't

'We didn't have a chance.' he said

'But they didn't kill everyone

I didn't know that it was you, you see

They just used to rush off to work - I've seen hundreds of them, with a bit of breakfast in their hand, running to catch their train, frightened they'd be sacked if they didn't

'Well - I discussed it, didn't I?

That is why I didn't find anyone there.

I didn't have housemaid's knee

Why didn't I have housemaid's knee, too?

I didn't read the prescription

The only one who didn't like the idea was Montmorency, my fox-terrier

George and I didn't want to sleep at inns

'I didn't pull

We didn't take wine or beer, because they both make you sleep.

However, I didn't say anything

'Why didn't you tell me before?' I said

But I didn't find mine

George didn't know what to say

We didn't answer

They didn't notice that there was no boat at the end of the rope

I didn't think this was dangerous work, but it was

I didn't understand what was happening

I didn't sleep well

I didn't answer him for a while, because I was laughing so much

I tried to tell him how funny it was, but he didn't understand

We didn't know what scrambled eggs were

I threw it in the river! Then we rowed away and didn't stop until we reached Maidenhead.

We sailed straight into the fishing boat with the three old fishermen! At first, we didn't know what was happening

They didn't curse us with common curses

But the cat didn't run

He didn't understand that his life was in danger.

Harris didn't know it, but he had been sitting next to a big hole

George didn't listen to Harris.

'No, I didn't

I didn't like this idea, and I said, 'No, Harris

We didn't sleep well at all

We didn't say one word

We didn't have the courage to tell him the truth: we were running away from the rain!

'But what? It's my fault - is that what you're saying? I didn't do well enough in the exams, so I can't be a teacher

And she said only last week that she didn't have a penny on her, thought Connie

It's just that I didn't think it was a question I was not allowed to ask.'

I hope you didn't tell the Count.'

'She didn't tell me she was going or say goodbye! I must go to her immediately!'

"Marie Curie worked on the research too, didn't she?" he asked

But the first woman prime minister didn't come from Europe or the USA
