But it wasn’t Montague’s fault that society had created the haves and the have not’s and if it wasn’t him then some other unscrupulous business man would step in.

Montague felt a surge of adrenalin, the pound signs multiplied before him synchronised with the couple’s deepening misery.

  4. The imagery in this is great. You can feel the greed oozing from every pore in his body and he obviously has no sympathy for the couple's situation. Really great piece, Lizzie!
