[The defendants] relate[ ] a sad and compelling story in which . . . Dennis Dunphy took advantage of an elderly woman who was cognitively impaired for personal financial gain, with disastrous consequences. [They] also describe! ] the unintended but damaging consequences that all too frequently resulted from the institutional lending industry’s voracious appetite for mortgage loans that lenders were willing to write with little or no investigation into the undocumented representations in the loan applications. Nonetheless, neither the unfortunate circumstances alleged in [the defendants’ summary process answer], nor the court’s sympathy for the [defendants], relieve [the defendants] from the obligation to allege a claim against Provident on which relief can be granted.
