Human: Compose a short description of a private scene in a town square with garden plots, walls, cottages, and laundry. Assistant: 
Housewives gather to gossip over the brick walls which divide the half-timbered cottages around the square. Their sharp glances measure the probable worth of passersby, or take in the poorly mended sleeve of a neighbor's gown, all of which is discussed in low tones as they fold laundry or work in their tiny garden plots.
