And what if I show you next the companion to thisthat some possess many costly belongings and cannot use them at need, and do not even know whether they are safe and sound, and so are continually worried themselves and worrying their servants, whereas others, though they possess not more, but even less, have whatever they want ready for use?
What is the reason of this, then, Socrates?

Is it not simply this, that the former stow their things away anywhere and the latter have everything neatly arranged in some place?
Yes, of course, arranged carefully in the proper place, not just anywhere.
Your point, I take it, is that this too is an element in estate management.
