A throng of officers surrounded him.
It dead-ended at the cottage, surrounded by a stone fence line.
They were led to a room with a long table in the center surrounded by chairs.
They quickly surrounded him and made him their prisoner.
So I'm going to be stuck on a planet far away without a bus ticket home surrounded by spiders the size of basketballs and being bossed around by Neanderthal barbarians who forbid me to talk and lock me in the bathroom!
