Probably

The end of a day at Master Wichai's yard on Khlong Bang Luang, the band saw off: how many jobs did we turn away this month; six, maybe seven; with a child you should probably have a yard of your own; my own yard, it would probably be expensive; on a canal it probably isn't; Nam probably won't like it; she probably won't at first, then she might; and your yard, Master; the yard probably won't fall down: four shades of probably.
