Listen, lad, I built this settlement up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other colonists said I was daft to build a settlement on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show ‘em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one… stayed up! And that’s where you’re gonna live, lad: the strongest settlement in this New World!
