The friars were behind on their belfry
payments, so they opened up a
small florist shop to raise the funds.
Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, the rival
florist across town thought the competition was unfair.
He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not.
He went back and begged the friars to close.
They ignored him.
He asked his mother to go and ask the friars to get out of the
business.
They ignored her too.
So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most
vicious thug in town, to "persuade" them to close.
Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if
they didn't close shop!
Terrified, the friars did so, thereby proving that...
Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.
