Returning any unaccepted beer to the ice bucket, and taking one for himself, Jacob returned to speak with Sarah.  He opened the can and took two large gulps, wetting his whistle.  "Well, I managed to  borrow this place because it belongs to my uncle.  He's fairly well off, though more of a "salt of the earth" type person, if you know what i mean."  Jacob explained.  "When he has some time off, he likes to come up here and do some hunting or fishing.  Whenever he's working though, the place is empty.  Basically i just asked if he was using the place during this week, and if he wasn't if I could come up here with a few friends.  So long as we don't destroy the place, he's fine with it."
