The best defence is a good offence.

Now that's a perfect example of conflicting intrest!

gotta love the power of the appology, in Fable you can use it to get out of paying a ton of cash AND you can get away with multiple murders and all sorts of stuff with just a few appologies and lettin the guards thwack you a few times.

I was right about it being a nursery

Although not at all in the way I thought

I'm confused. Did Ben go ahead and convert the original greenhouse to a game room and then convert another room to a greenhouse? That can't be right, considering how much work converting another room to a greenhouse would take. Not to mention getting the building permits, inspections, etc. done in that short a time.

Permits? PERMITS? We don't need no stinking permits!

Lily can still plant one on him. Smack on the tulips.

I believe originally Ben had begun converting the room Lily had thought to make into a greenhouse into a tabletop game room instead. Once Lily had left, he then set about creating a proper greenhouse for her as an apology.

Looks like Ben (and friends) pulled off a While You Were Gone or a miniature Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Just look at the glass walls and celing! What's more, it's got to be on the top floor (personal living space, glass roof), probably in the back (so it doesn't ruin the "street image" of the building). I don't think there's a "wing" with fewer floors.

Permits? Well, it depends on who has authority over the lot. There tend to be fewer restrictions for property outside city/town limits. The most radical work would probably be the glass and the plumbing (although I suspect some electrical changes, too).

And do we have a specific number of days Lily was gone?

Actually, it's on a concrete slab Ben found out back, where the previous owner was going to put up a garage, and changed his mind.

Well, he does have to get permission from the proper authorities.

"Hey, Ralph. Do you mind if I build a greenhouse?"

"No, Ben. Go right ahead."

There, all done.

They still to confront the issues of him buying all those things. He made the greenhouse AFTER she got mad at him (with just cause).

True, but remember, the issue primarily was not how much it was costing, but that he didn't talk to her first.

It is always easier to get forgiveness than permission.

Thats what I meant. The fact that he was doing all these things without talking with her in the first place.

That situation is kinda like the one
in a cartoon where a daddy quail was
trying to get worm for his daughter, and
when catches it, and he hands the worm
over to her. All of a a sudden, she starts
crying. The quail dad asks, "Why are you
crying now? I got you the
worm that you wanted to eat!"

Little girl quail: I can't eat him, daddy... I just CAN'T!!!

Daddy quail: For Heaven's sake... why not?

Little girl quail: Because he looks like Frankie Sinatra!!!

Daddy quail: OH NO!!!

Same situation, but differnet characters, different settings, and different everything.

However, it was good that Lily had been defused from slugging her hubby.

If you think she was upset over non-emergency spending on the credit card before, just wait until she sees the next bill!

Then she's going to kill Ben - big time! (At least if money is as tight there as in most real life households these days.)
