Buying a new house is a very common aspiration and so someone being excited about it and then having it not work out shows great misfortune.
Consider the staetement "I thought we we're going to be able to close on a new house recently but it didn't work out.". Based on this statement, is "I was really excited about the prospect of buying a new house but thanks to my great fortune it didn't pan out" a true statement? Yes/no/unknown
