The Secluded lot quotes

1)Exposition :
” I’d like to inquire about a lot,” the old man said, the effort of decision evident in his voice. “At my age you never know…” Page 115

2)Rising action:
” I’d prefer an older location. ” The old man down at his unpolished shoes, embarrassed. ” I mean, where trees and shrubs have had a chance to grow.” Page 115

3)Rising action:
“I’d like a good view.” The old man explained. ” but more important, privacy.” Page 117

4)Rising action:
” No, I like it the way it is–wild and secret and uncared-for–hidden by thicket of branches.” For some time, the old man stood there, gazing off into the distance. “Am I allowed…” he hesitated, correcting himself. ” Is the purchaser allowed to visit it at any time?”. Page 117

5)Climax:
“Ouch!” yelled Mr. Jerome. ” That cursed bee stung me.” ” I’m sorry,” the old man said, ” but that sting costs the bee its life.” Then it was that Mr.Jerome begun to understand. The full implications left him aghast. There was no precedent for this in all cemetery history. ” How dare you operate a bee hive in this cemetery?” Page 119

6)Falling action:
” I’m not soliciting business. The bees are just going about there normal and natural pursuits. Besides, Rest Haven Nectar brings a special price.” ” You sell the honey?” Page 120

7)Falling action:
” Mr. Jerome, I have done you great service. Your flowers have never been so magnificent or plentiful.” ” That’s true,” he was forced to admit. Page 121

8)Denouement:
” Mr. Jerome, I have reached an important decision: I should like to buy another lot.” Page 121
