"They could use a good tax accountant around here," he said. "When I first saw the place, I got that definite feeling. The valley looks prosperous. It's a wonder nobody's opened an office here before."
His wife took a straight chair by the counter separating kitchen and living area, folded her hands across her heavy stomach.
