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.
