Petrof Grand

[Farrell]

I did check it out with her. I measured everything and inspected everything.
Everthing is OK. But I'm asking about the sum of all the parts. I don't
play, so I will perhaps always lack a bit with the final decision. But I
think someone that has been exposed to one for a period of time would have a
better opinion on some of its aspects.

You can go on a first date and check out all you can think of (with due
consideration for appropriate social constraints, of course), but you'll
know her a lot better if you live with her a while. I guess that is what I
am asking about......what do you have after the honeymoon is over?  ;-)
