Now give us a moment. Your feelings toward the parking lot have gone out from you, and from others, to bring the proceeding at least to a temporary halt. Your landlord is extremely suggestible, and your own feelings fell on fertile ground, the ground of his misgivings.
I believe that the garage will be torn down to provide extra parking in any case—the doctor’s garage. The affair is highly plastic at this time. There is a good possibility that your land will not be touched.
