               into the back of the wardrobe after the party — the way
               you usually do.
Mike.          I’ve looked for it everywhere. And it’s not in the
               wardrobe. Have you tidied up my bedroom again and
               put all my things away in new places where I’ll never
               find them?
Mother.        I always put ties away in the wardrobe where they
               belong, so don’t blame me. Are you sure you haven’t
               worn that tie since Saturday?
Mike.          No, I don’t think so.
Mother.        On Tuesday you went out with Janet and I think you
               put it on then. You didn’t come in until one o’clock in
               the morning and I was already in bed. Perhaps you took
               it off in Janet’s house and left it there.
Mike.          Ah! I remember now. It was a bit hot and I took my tie
               off in the car on the way home on Tuesday. I suppose
               it’s still on the shelf under the dashboard.
Mother.        As usual you’ve only got yourself to blame. It’s a good
               job your head is firmly fixed to your shoulders —
               otherwise I’m sure you’d lose that too.

                                (Extract)
Miss Tooley.       How do you think we ought to start?
J.D. O’Connor.     My idea is this. Suppose we just say a few ordinary
                   sentences. After that we’ll go back again and notice
                   how we’ve said them and what sort of tune we’ve
                   used, and then we’ll try to make some clear and
                   general rule about them.
Miss Tooley.       Yes, that’s a good idea. Now the first thing I said
                   was this: «How do you think we ought to start?»
                   I wonder if the listeners can hear the tune. «How
                   do you think we ought to start?»
J.D.               You see, listeners, that sentence starts on a fairly
                   high note and it continues on that same note
                   until it reaches the word «ought». Just listen.
Miss Tooley.       «How — How do you think we — How do you
                   think we ought to start?»
