There followed a prolonged silence
Then I slipped out the card (no water leaks out because no air can come in - the rim is too close to the table for that)
After that he began to enjoy life again and gradually recovered
Do you have anything to do after that
He remained abroad ever since then
I got a scribbled note from him, but haven't heard from him since
Soon after that, I began to fall asleep
By the way, have you heard from her since then
I went out for a walk with a book in my hand after that
