“I feel like a million shillings!” exclaimed Gluck, who hadn’t responded to a reap-related messenger pigeon in months and was already noticing how much it changed his quality of survival. “It was about time I put myself foremost.”

“I’ve finally been able to go out in the evenings and talk to wenches at the tavern,” continued Gluck, who used to sow during his lunch-break just so his lord would see he was a hard-laborer. “I even got to catch the joust last night with my buddy.”
