Exercise 3: Fill the gaps with a verb in the correct tense.

One summer morning, Meeks came from the West to New York to find his sister. She was Mrs. Mary Snyder, a widow, aged 52, who had been living for a year in a treatment house in a crowded district [[1]](https://ru.scribd.com/document/455750026/Adventure-Stories).

At her address, somebody told him that Mary had moved away longer than a month before. No one could tell him her new address.

On coming out of the house, Mr. Meeks addressed a policeman who was standing on the corner and explained his difficulty to him.

"I have recently made a lot of money and I'd like to help Mary as soon as possible," he added.

The policeman pulled his mustache and told Meeks about Juggins. He said that Juggins was the leader of a new school of detectives.

"Juggins has solved some very difficult cases. I will take you to him," the policeman said.

"If I find your sister, you will pay me two hundred dollars. I will try to solve your case. The disappearance of people in the city is the most interesting problem I have ever worked at," said the famous detective, rising and putting on his hat.

In fifteen minutes, Juggins returned holding a little piece of paper with Mary's new address. After Meeks paid his bill, he asked the detective to explain what he had done [[1]](https://ru.scribd.com/document/455750026/Adventure-Stories).
