To those of you unfamiliar with the concept of a Tom Swifty, it is a pun composed of a quote and a sentence with an adverb, a verb or sometimes a noun related to the quote in an amusing way, often playing with multiple meanings. For example: '"I need to sharpen my pencil." said Tom bluntly.' Can you find the right word to make it a real Tom Swifty pun?
Tom is without his help - his maid. One could say depressingly means he didn't have his shirts pressed... but that's not as good since no clues were given for that.
the sound for "Dull" is in this word, which means boring, and also 'Gent' for gentleman meaning 'dull male'.
insistently.
lazily.
interestingly.
indulgently.
