R = "She drove her car into the parking lot and stopped." Q = "She got out and walked to the nearest shop." S = "It was there that she realised she had forgotten her purse at home." P = "Disappointed, she turned around and returned to the parking lot." S6 = "She drove home with an empty basket." Between S1 and S6, place P–Q–R–S in a clear chronological order.
