it had lasted only two years because one girl prettier and more buxom than all the rest made even the most whiskerless wisp of a man pine for her and sowed jealousy amongst them , and there had not been one aspiring aesthete among them suited for hoeing in the fields anyway , and no one liked hoeing in the fields half so much as they liked the idea of hoeing , and all the buildings they designed and built from scratch leaned sideways so badly that even the nearby mennonites and amish could n't fix them , save for one grand mansion at the far north end of the acres that they shored up for the aesthetes purely out of pity .
