Returning to find his friends dead, he was reported to have remarked, "What a dreadful business."

He had been "killed by that dreadful business", she said.

The doctors were quite right to insist on her being kept out of this dreadful business.

But I can't help feeling that he was mixed up in this dreadful business.

And then there was that dreadful business the other night with the cake icer.

It would be a dreadful business if both you and him was to miscarry!

I was so sorry to hear about this dreadful business.

Then we can have done with the whole dreadful business and go back home.

And he has agreed to provide professional counsel in this dreadful business.

In its light, we may put a rest to this dreadful business.
