A dormant gold mine.
- Ah! We've really made our million but we promised gold and we've only found sand...
- Go on! Exploit your capital, that's our gold mine...
- Yes, but later...
- Later? You'll say I made a mistake, that it's necessary to start again... and you'll set up a company to work the sand.
- Brrr. There're bobbies in the district...
- Bobbies? All the better, they'll take some shares off your hands.
