"All they can do is play politics, yet they can't even recognize such good land. Don't you think so, Sebastian?"

"True enough. When is the landowner supposed to show up?"
"It seems it’s about time."
"We set a meeting for 3 p.m., but he’s running late."

It was now 3:20 p.m., about 20 minutes past the appointed time.
