Jock Ewing

And then her carriage fell over and she died.

And then ever since then, the only person who I think ever lived their full life there was the daughter of the guy.

And so she lived a long life, but she died.

And then all these other people who either lived there or were her caretakers or whatever died.

They're like, oh, we heard about this house.

Nope, we out.

And then the other guy that's there is the one who is a younger guy who's eventually going to inherit the house when his aunt or something passes away.
