411.1 - After having been defeated in the recent elections, the Prime Minister has gone to live abroad. Crawley, who is a fanatical opponent of Mr Lane's Radical Progressive Party, went to his house three times and asked a policeman whether that was Mr Lane's house. When Crawley asked the same question the third time, the angry policeman told him that Mr Lane had been defeated in the elections and was living his retirement abroad. Crawley said that that was something he loved to hear.

411.2 - Since the Prime Minister was defeated in the recent elections, he has gone to live abroad. As Crawley is a fanatical opponent of Mr Lane's Radical Progressive Party, he has gone to Mr Lane's house three times. Each time he asked a policeman if that was Mr Lane's house, he was told that Mr Lane had been defeated in the elections and was living his retirement abroad, but the third time Crawley told the angry policeman that that was something he loved to hear.
