The Sign of Four. Part 1. Put the verbs into the correct tense form. One rainy morning I was reading (read) a newspaper and Holmes
(sit) in the armchair deep in thought. He
(not/
seem) very happy. "I
(be) bored," he
(say) suddenly.
“I
(not / can) live without mysteries. That's why

(be) Sherlock Holmes
and this
