Ste. (triumphantly). Anybody got anything to say against a recreation ground now.
Walter. Neither of us ever had, I hope.
Ste. You'd a lot to say about the rates.
Jim. And I didn't see the use of pulling houses down to make room where houses are scarce.
Ste. We shan't pull down many.
Jim. It'll be a small ground then. (Sits R. of table.)
Ste. (with quiet triumph). About ten acres.
Jim. You'll have to pull down streets on streets to find ten acres.
Ste. We shall pull down just five houses. (Sits L. of table.) No more and no less.
Jim. Five houses!
