<say job>Cuthbert says: As you can see I have a rather distinct hobby. Delightful, yes? My collection is never complete and I need more.
-
<say more>Cuthbert says: Each fairy looks completely different now. Some of my more adventurous customers have joined me in this hobby. So, I was selling them any double-ups that I had but now I have run out.
-
<say out>Cuthbert says: I discovered a new place to collect fairies, in the garden of an abandoned cottage. I collected enough for my collection and received orders from my customers. As soon as I did this the cottage owner renovated the cottage and took up residence.

<say owner>Cuthbert says: She likes to be called Aunt May.
-
<say cottage>Cuthbert says: A lovely place north of the city. I spend some time there.
