tonight , with magook having flown the coop , i tinker with the dream so that if the pettees buy the gambrel and give me their house to list , rather than selling it to their daughter and her new second husbandand if i can get alice munson to fall for the pettees house after almost two years of passing on everything i have shown her , then the ten eight would grow past twenty-fourbefore backing out the affiliates fee and the e & o insurance .
