Providing that he the book to the library he won t be fined

Вставьте пропущенное слово:

Becky met Professor Alan Dobson at the lecture. His lecture was devoted to the British role after the war. Becky had fallen in love with Alan even before he started to speak. It was love at first 32 ______. He was very handsome with a head of thick grey hair and large blue eyes. His athletic build belied his age, and 33 ______ that he must spend almost as many hours in the gym as in the library.

The second he began to 34 ______, Becky was captivated by Dobson’s energy, and within moments he had everyone in the auditorium sitting on the edge of their seats. Students began furiously writing 35 ______ his every word. Speaking without notes, the professor nimbly switched from subject to subject, the role of Downing Street after the war, the dollar as the new world currency, oil becoming the commodity that would dominate the second half of the century and the future role of the British monarchy.

When his lecture came to an end, Becky’s only regret was that he’d scarcely 36 ______ on transport, with just a passing mention of how the airplane would change the new world order, both for business and tourism. She wanted him to expand his views on the future of the British shipping industry. But like a seasoned pro, he 37 ______ his audience that he had written a book on the subject. Becky wouldn’t be waiting for Christmas to get hold of a copy. It made her think about Ben, and hope his book 38 ______ was going as well in France.
