Â ÂHe seems to come to a momentous decision, says he has something of Earth- Âshattering importance to tell you, and stresses the importance of a quick drink Âat the Horse 'n Groom. Â ÂPointing toward Prosser, you exclaim "But that man wants to knock my house Âdown!" Ford goes off for a quiet word with Prosser. From where you're lying, you Âcannot hear what's happening, although they seem deeply engrossed in Âconversation. Â Â>
