  • Many misdemeanors are seen there, but (felonies/crimes) are rare, so the (police) captain at first refused to (give in to/comply with) the petitioners’ request.

  • After a few steps, they were (facing/in front of) a house with (such a modest though honest appearance/the most modest, and yet modest, appearance).
