Why, I've never... The gall of the man, to suggest I've ever "done someone
in." I tell you, those tax collectors commited suicide. Each of them, in
turn, dug their own hole and fell on their swords of their own volition. I
only covered them up as a courtesy to both the living and the dead. Only a
Chinaman would expect the dead to fill in their own graves.

>> Your Excellency -
>> I want to publicly say that my recent travels thru your lands was very

>> (When I first came up to the gate, they refused to grant me passage). And

>> But please understand that, I am very sorry for not stopping and visiting

>> business in the Shire of Adlersruhe. But in my travels, I did spend some
>> time talking with a lot of fine people about the current state of the

>> impressed with the needed upkeep of the Kings-road that goes from Treloc
>> to Adlersruhe -- I must say that you have done a real good job on it
>> too. Heck, I bet you could march a whole army on it now without anyone,
>> breaking an ankle. You even impressed ole-man A.C. Kerly, You know the
>> old-man that lives just north of the wall you have just built and you
>> know how hard-nosed he is about things.
>> Anyway, I finally ended up staying the night in the Shire of Adlersruhe
>> and after seeing the sights there, and taking care of a bit of business,
>> I returned back home all safe and sound. But I did want to thank your
>> fine soldiers who gave me them 12 new horses. Are these men new to your
>> lands? I only ask, as I have not seen them before. Anyway, they stopped
>> me at the waterwell in La Mesa, while I was watering my poor ole'
>> animals, and when I approached their animals, to get a better look at the
>> excellent horses, your men stood in front of me and all they would say
>> was 'Chain horses, gift for the wondrous U!' Your Excellency, I was so
>> impressed, and thankful, I went and made them a fresh fish salad using
>> some of those new fast growing fish I found in a store in Aldersruhe. You
>> know the ones that when you catch them they swell up to three times their
>> normal size. Your men were so impressed they ate their meal with plenty
>> of something they called 'ice', and then they went and fell asleep under
>> a few nearby trees, they must have been trying to find me for sometime to
>> give me those horses, because they were so tired they did not even wave
>> good-bye to me when I left.
>> But the reason for this message is to let you know that whomever sold
>> you those horses, your excellencies, does not know his horse-flesh very
>> well so to speak. As these 12 horses; while it is true - that they are
>> perfectly matched and being the purest white color I have seen in years -
>> they have not been trained at all in pulling and they know nothing about
>> being chained to a plow, or wagon for that matter. But don't fret your
>> excellency, I will gladly take the time to train them to the duties
>> required for farm-work. But I thought you might want to question your
>> 'Master of Horses' more closely in the future, as these fine animals, are
>> to me more suited for the tasks related to the battlefield then the farm
>> field.
>>
>> Again Thanks for the Horses.
