Oh, I say, that's a nice clock. Where did you get it? - I bought it in England last summer. You know I (buy) clocks for fifty years nowand I (build) quite a big collection, Genuine antique clocks (acquire) a great value since the time I started. The taxes (grow) rapidly since then and
the rate of inflation (not be stable)
for a long time.
- You're right. That's what (make)
antique-hunting less profitable
nowadays.
