Since everyone > > liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a 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. 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 up shop. > > Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent > > florist friars. Best of light.
