Dear tome of unfulfilled dreams,
Father has not died yet. How unfortunate.
To pass hours I have calculated few matters related to his future death.
At least two men will be required to carry his coffin when he finally decides to kick the bucket. However four would be an optimal quantity. This means I will need to make one to three more friends... What a chore.
I have also made inquiries about how much a wooden coffin would cost. The woodworker gave a rough estimate of twenty silvers. I wonder if it would be considered inappropriate to just toss his corpse into the pit?
Well, I suppose a sack would be a cheaper choice. Would be woeful waste of money to spend twenty silvers to slow down the maggots.
