So the completed text would read:

Newly qualified Dr Lauder was a primate specialist, just had been arrived from four years' postgraduate study at — Edinburgh University and a summer spent tracking pygmy chimpanzees, or bonobos as they are otherwise called, in the forests of West Africa. He took over supervision of Jennifer's animal behaviour tutorials. Her previous tutor, Dr Grange (known as Dr Strange to most of his students), had left under a cloud at the end of Trinity term.

Jennifer had known how to handle Dr Grange but as if by a magical curse the articulate, intelligent student suddenly developed a stutter when faced by the young man who replaced him.

Dr Grange had been old and slightly stinky. Dr Lauder was just four years older than Jennifer. He had hair the colour of straw and eyes with irises so blue they looked as though they had been cut from the sky with а hole punch. At the beginning of their first tutorial together, he greeted her with a smile that suggested he had never been so happy to see anyone in his life.

Jennifer found it impossible to say any words in Dr Lauder's presence without precipitating a violent coughing fit. After a couple of weeks, Dr Lauder started to take the precaution of having a glass of water ready for her arrival at three o'clock every Tuesday afternoon. Then, one day, he commented on the floral dress she was wearing.

'You're looking very . . . flowery,’ was all he said.

Next thing Jennifer saw was the flickering strip light on the ceiling of his office. His simple sort-of compliment had sent her into a faint.

It might have been the most embarrassing moment of her life ever, but when Jennifer looked up into Dr Lauder’s eyes as he checked her dilated pupils for signs of concussion, she realised that his concern went beyond that of a tutor fearing that his tutee had sustained a mortal injury on his time. Eventually, however, she revived enough to accept a medicinal coffee in the zoology department canteen.
