“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Give us a moment.... The people who have lived in the Foster Street house, and the hill house, have to some extent already conditioned the rest of the neighbors in a certain way. There are alliances and understandings in neighborhoods—signs for others to read. The little house on Cobbles East also has its own aura of privacy that no garage on the other side can disturb.

You think the green house by the river was too much a box—but it was its open air of hospitality that bothered you—the wide windows open to the street. It was a box, but it was open, not shielded from the front.

The Foster house had shrubs. The front entrance was not even used. The hill house is set up high. Anyone who walks up the steps from the street knows they are making a trip. Financially you have absolutely nothing to worry about. You can afford the cash.

The hill house does not. It represents a kind of challenge you have not thus far accepted. A kind of living in the present that has frightened you both.

The parking is all right, though in winter only one side particularly is permitted. But it is a dead-end street, so as long as driveways are honored you are all right.

On the house: now Ruburt could quite cleverly see Dr. Sam as he tried to shut nature out, and be at the same time relatively opaque in understanding his feelings toward the Foster Street house—his own feelings.
