"Chirk says be won't pay any more reat because the roof leaks, and the stairs need repairing, and the walls are damp, and the door-ball won't ring. ad the bathroom's out of order, and the pantry window's broken, ardte wallpaper'e coming off, and the doors are sprung, and the water pipe is busted (he said busted)."
