The man called Tony and told him about it.

I used to be mixed up with some guy called Tony.

He called Tony, and the assistant received orders to keep a careful watch.

The one called Tony was sitting sideways on the sofa in front of the desk.

But the one called Tony was not such a problem.

I'll call Tony and see what he wants me to do.

"You've never told me why you're called Tony when your name is James."

I call Tony, pass on their demands, and keep quiet about the rest.

He sees what's involved and calls Tony on the carpet, demanding where the information could have come from.

So I called Tony, and he had never heard of her husband.
