I believe it will cost over a hundred thousand; that's his hobby just now.

And do you know how it all came about? The peasants asked him for some meadowland, I think it was, at a cheaper rate, and he refused, and I accused him of being miserly.

Of course it was not really because of that, but everything together, he began this hospital to prove, do you see, that he was not miserly about money.

_C'est une petitesse_, if you like, but I love him all the more for it.
