Read the following and answer the questions given below.
Jack: No, no, Aunt Jane. You misunderstood me. We don’t pay rent because the house is ours.
Aunt Jane: YOURS?
Jill: Why, yes; you just pay ten pounds and it’s yours. Jack: You see, Aunt Jane, we realized how uneconomic it is to go on paying rent year after year, when you can buy and enjoy a home of your own for ten pounds and a few quarterly payments, of course. Why be Mr .Tenant when you can be Mr. Owner?
Aunt Jane: I see. Yes, there’s something in that. Even so, you must be getting on very well to keep up a place like this.
Jill: Oh, he is, Aunt Jane. Why, only last year he had a five shilling rise—didn’t you, Jack?
Jack (modestly): Of course that was nothing, really. I’m expecting ten this Christmas.
Aunt Jane (suddenly): Jack! I’ve just thought of something. That car—is it yours?
Jill: Of course it’s ours.
