In my view, Mrs Marlow's view can be summarised as "All ur horses can haz naow."
That is (and I've known people be like this about books, and I knew a couple who were like it about boats), her thought processes seem to go:
1. Is it a horse? 2. Is it in my vicinity? 3. Is it a "good' horse? 4. Is it on sale? 5. Is it on sale at a price which, considered objectively in conjunction with the answer to 3. above, and irrespective of my own personal financial position, can be considered an undervalue? 6. If the answer to 1-5 above is "yes", find excuse to acquire it and add it to the establishment.
