The afternoon shadows were stretching across the dry grass toward the edge of the sidewalk.

I parked my Buick at the end of the Elm Street driveway right at three-thirty.

The house was painted light gray with clean white trim.

Mark stood near the back of his late-model black sedan.

The trunk lid was wide open.

He lifted a large leather golf bag and pushed it deep into the trunk.

The metal irons clanked together.

I walked Emma up the concrete path toward the front porch.
