Well, the interview went all right, I guess. I dunno. Mr Powell's not quite as affable as Professor Siz's aunt was.

But he didn't chuck me out or anything. And the work seems interesting. (Well, truthfully, so does Mrs Cumberhatch's--Gera's, I guess, she said I could call her that--but her client base is not quite as interesting as Mr Powell's, you know?)

I guess I'll just see which of them offers me something first. If either of them do. (And yes, I've sent them both their thank-you notes by owl.)

But. Did you get the sample lease agreement for the place on Thornhill Road? (Or is it Barnsbury by then, I couldn't hear what the agent said.) I thought that one was the best of what we saw Saturday. Don't you?

I think we'll be sorry if we don't, but it will be a stretch. But that doesn't mean, of course, that we might not find another one next week that's much closer to our budget.

As for what I was expecting...well, I suppose that was a little vague, but it's difficult to assess what we could pay without knowing what your salary might be.

Well, what if you put in an offer for it at 25Г per month lower than the asking rate? At least it keeps him talking to us and then by the time it's worked out I might have a job offer and we'll know. You could explain.

Besides, it's not like you're without prospects. I mean, he ought to know who you work for.

We can keep looking, I guess.
