Describing Position and Location Within a Group
Selena: Don’t look now, but a big group of mothers are coming to this house to give you a piece of their mind.
Justin: What?! I meant it as a joke. I didn’t mean anything by it.
Selena: You’ll have to tell that to Sally. She’s at the head of the group and she’s flanked by Maria and Veronica.
Justin: Oh no, not them. I’d rather be confronted by anyone but those three.
Selena: They’re not the only ones. They’re backed by a group of at least 15 parents.
Justin: Maybe some of those on the periphery 1 are just spectators, waiting to see what the rest of the group will do.
Selena: Don’t count on it. They look determined 2.
Justin: Who are those in the back?
Selena: Those bringing up the rear? I think those are a few fathers with a message of their own.
Justin: What should I do now?
Selena: Start by waving a white flag.
Justin: And then?
Selena: Try a sincere apology, with a healthy dose of groveling.
