The concept of possession has really been bugging me. I want for something 
like the following to work:

 You see a box.

> examine box

 It's Jill's jewelry box.

> take Jill's box.

 Taken.

A simple solution would seem to me to be to define an adjective for box, 
"Jill's".

box: thing
	sdesc = "box"
	ldesc = "It's Jill's jewelry box."
	noun = 'box'
	adjective = 'Jill\'s'
;

This does not seem to work though.

Is there an easy way to do this?
