(Drawling.) I’ve put my thinking cap on. A business connection of my firm is looking out for freehold in this country. If this is freehold, I reckon I’d be safe to get my money back from him if I bought it myself.

Varlie.

Yaas. I’ve got plenty of free cash when it’s wanted, you know. Business hasn’t been bad lately, and—waal. I’ll lay down for this freehold of yours.

Gordon.

Good. That’ll save ever so much time I might waste in looking for a buyer.

Varlie.

Let’s strike then.
