When his mother did not answer, he came into the front room.

Before her mother could answer, she hit on a new idea.

I miss them, so I'll have to take the chance their mother will answer the phone.

Mother didn't answer, because she knew that it was true.

The child was not at home when her mother answered the door, the police said.

The mother never answered him, and the boy didn't ask the question later in class.

After all that, I wondered if my mother would answer.

My mother answered the door before I could get there.

His mother didn't answer, but he could hear her crying.

Mother set her mouth in a grim line and did not answer.
