They figured that there was no hope.
They didn't so much as hint at it.
I doubt they'll be surprised by that.
They rarely appear.
They see each other very little.
I shouldn't wonder if they came after all.
They were disappointed that you could not come.
They ultimately decided not to go.
That didn't enter into their calculations.
I did not even dream that they would come here.
They could hardly see.
They are free from care.
