Of course we know money is not important. Love has nothing to do with money. Aldous\u2019 wife has a book entitled \u201cThe most precious thing\u201d. And that\u2019s not money to be sure! She looks determined. Have you seen Soandso\u2019s house advertized, by the way? An unbelievable sum they want. It must be the four acres of land with it. Their own house has nine acres with it\u2026<\/p>\n
And somebody else, Commander Soandso, selling his house, too. You never guess what he wants! For his little place! It seems as though he has a buyer. Nothing in writing yet. Good old Commander Soandso! If he sells his house at that price, what\u2019s the value of ours?<\/p>\n

As long as we get by on the money we have.<\/p>\n
Switching on the immersion heater without worrying about the electricity \u2013 a pleasing thought to her. She\u2019s heard somebody describe this as being rich. Quite original, isn\u2019t it. Of course, some people are millionaires. Nessie\u2019s brother is and Nessie himself must be. Very wealthy, very well off.<\/p>\n
They went yachting with some newly acquired friends. My goodness, their house. Filled with antiques. All inherited. I don\u2019t know why she said that\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
