   Hmm. That make a lot of sense, and you are probably correct. But it   
   seems odd to describe his own patches of grass as simply numerical   
   'lawns' rather than 'the front lawn', 'the back lawn', 'the Lawn of   
   Parth Galen', etc. ;-)   
      
   Wouldn't he have been more likely to say something like, "I mowed the   
   front and both sides. Grr! the back will have to wait"?
