You don't know anything about it.
-
How far would the houses stretch?
-
Well, the whole field, really.
-
But why can't they be built in a row, like the other streets?
-
They'd sell more quickly as separate dwellings,
-
and we'd get a percentage of the sales.
-
So, we're paid once, and in return the field is lost,
-
the village is spoiled
-

-
Why didn't you tell them we were coming here today?
-
They'll find out as soon as Rose gets home.

I didn't want to be a 'topic' for the rest of luncheon.
