Did you want to tell me something

Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer. My dentist
had just pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while. I tried to
say something, but my mouth was full of cotton-wool. He knew I collected
birds' eggs and asked me whether my collection was growing. He then asked
me how my brother was and whether I liked my new job in London. In answer
to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises. Meanwhile, my
tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt
very worried, but could not say anything.When the dentist at last removed the
cotton-wool from my mouth, I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the
wrong tooth.

be busy doing 忙于做某事
search out找出
