Houseplants are coming along rather nicely.

What sort of houseplants do you have?

I've an assortment. Er, interested in gardening, are you?

I'm interested in all sorts of things. Why not gardening?

Why not, indeed?

What about you? Any favourite plants for you?

I think those carnivorous ones are interesting. Like the flytraps and the pitcher plants?

The prickly, particularly-hard-to-care-for kind. Good choice.

I'm supposed to cut the grass now. "Responsibility." It doesn't ever grow too long though.

Then what's the hurry?

There isn't one, really.

All the better. Your parents won't be cross if they find you're here, will they?

I don't think so, no.

What kind?

Anything a gardener might wet himself over grows in my living room.

Very manly.

Well, I do try. My own little Eden, and all that.

Guess everyone needs a sanctuary.

If you're lucky, you end up with more than one.

Only if you're lucky.
