The gathering room is small, but comfortable. There are many seats for people to rest in. They are made of straw and covered with homespun blankets. There is a small table.

I am the clergyman chosen by the king. I am expected to keep the church clean. I sometimes dream of sailing to a new land.
Hello Lawson Family, I wish that I could bring you joyful news, but it is with great regret that I inform you that your precious Timothy has died. He came to confess his sins before the shot to his femoral artery killed him, and he bled to death.  No!!!!!s He was so young! What did he do?! He went to rob the local merchant store in the village, and the owner met him with a shot gun  What?! He had the best upbringing! We gave him a wonderful life! Why would he do such a despicable thing?! He confessed that he felt sorry, but he was only trying to provide for the family. He was forgiven before he bled out... Thank you for delivering this news. We are not needy people and are comfortable. I don't know what he was thinking. Someone must have got him to do it. He spoke of no accompliance. He was very sad that this is what his life had come to. He asked that I give you this. This was his mothers necklaces that turned up missing years ago. This must have started then and we never thought to ask if he stole it. This is all my fault! He said he carried it with him to give him hope, but he never meant to steal it. He was afraid you would not give it to him.  Wow! I am shocked I thought I knew my son but he was actually mile away even in the same room together. This is a tragedy. It is important that you do not resent him even in his death.  That may be difficult at times. I'm just so confused. Would you like to sit down?
