What held you up?

The train was delayed because of heavy snowfall.

He's merely been detained.

It'll take us forever when we get stuck in this 'burb.

Where did you put Diary of a Thief?

I'll play this bout first.

Sorry I'm late.

Looks like we might stand down a few days with the weather.

Sign it, maestro. There's not a moment to lose.

Were delayed on the factory.

We have to put off the game till next Sunday.

But he had an idea about a bloodstained doll, and I had to put it off.

Now what the devil?

I am sorry I just got back from France, and the boat was held up in fog.

We basically put something together to get through the meeting.

OK, now, allow it to stay there.

New Connection on Hold

The case was then suspended.

And the telephone's off the hook.
