"I was afraid that it would be all over the village by this time.

I went to church last Sunday with my poor guinea pig in my pocket.

He hasn't been well, and I was attending to him before church, and put him in there to get warm, and forgot about him.
Unfortunately I was late, and the back seats were all full, so I had to sit farther up than I usually do.

During the first hymn I happened to strike Piggy against the side of the seat.

Such an ear-splitting squeal as he set up.
