...so shouldn't be *too* testing but stumbled across a few unfinished grids. Can anyone help with:

Have the fellow call from outside: -O---ING (guessing it begins with an 'r').
Try hard to find a vein: -T---E
Dont' forget to ask the buyers to return the article: -----L
Having broached, was listened to: -A---D
Subdued and shaken, talked to: --A-B-ED
Emptied the case in the kitchen P-D-E-
