We have built so many houses.

Professor

Yes. Life’s an experiment. Remember the first little cottage where Teddy was born? It didn’t leave us much margin even though it was small. Come to think of it, dear, we’ve built three houses, haven’t we?

Mrs. Ray

It’s the fourth we’ve really thought of most—and that hasn’t been built yet.

Professor

That’s to be ours—all ours; with room for the children if they want to come back.

Mrs. Ray

Oh, that’s it: they won’t come back now. Our house won’t suit them.
