Excerpt: ... does that. Rogers will fix it up for me." "Really, Bert?" she asked doubtfully. "Oh, certainly! We do it every day, in the office. However, we've got to think this thing over seriously. It's twice-in fact, it's more than twice what we said. There's the interest on the mortgage, and the cost of the move, and my commutation, and club dues. Then of course, living's a little higher-there are no shops, just telephone service, the shops are in the village."

We've got the children's future to think of. Mind, I'm not trying to influence you, Bert," said Nancy, her eager tone changing suddenly to a flat, repressed voice, "You are the best judge, of course, and whatever you decide will be right. But I merely think that this is the loveliest place I ever saw in my life, and exactly what we've been hunting for-only far, far nicer!-and that if we can't have it we'd simply better give up house-hunting, because it's a mere waste of time, and resign ourselves to living in that detestable city for ever and ever!
