He Would Have Liked to See This

The first batch of the farm's specialty coffee has been scored, and the family hears the result on the porch. Say the cupping results came in, eighty-six points, Zeca would have liked to see this, if he were here he'd have said he always knew, and he'd have complained about the price of the fertiliser.
