For it was by the time that he had reached these that the priest began a little to allow his thoughts to wander and his animal senses, which were commonly keen, to awaken.

However, if you're just writing up a new title, a "head department" is an unusual term, that I think doesn't really make good sense. A department usually has a "head' or leader, but it's unclear to what a "head department" could mean.

WordsRaGoodThing wrote:"External transactions" is a much broader term than "foreign transactions." So, it depends on what you have in mind. If credit and, specifically, foreign transactions are the essential or predominant domains of the department, I'd go with "foreign transactions." If you look up the definition of "external transactions," you will find that this refers to ANY transaction between two separate entities. So, if foreign transactions are just one among many kinds of external transactions handled by the department, I'd go with "external transactions." Hope this helps!
The transactions are between a bank and the third parties such as the other banks, government institutions..

There were 7 points difference with the second team in previous weeks, but the first team have lost two games in a row and now the difference is only one point. There are 4 remaining games in the season.
If the team win 4 remaining games, they will be champions anyway; but the fans will feel anxious rather than joy within this period.
If the team had kept on winning, they would have been championship with 7 or more points difference at the end of the season, and this would have given much joy to the fans.
