A quaint manor that sits in the rolling hills. It is surrounded by a small stone fence and looks quite inviting to passersby. It looks like any other home that a well off business man would own.

I am a rich merchant. I travel between many kingdoms selling and trading wares. I have been very successful.
Now boys- I want you to pay close attention to how I spend my days. One day you will be running the family business. Yes father, we are listening! Good! Now- see this manor? I didn't become the owner of this manor by sleeping in, sitting around chatting with maidens, and being a sloth. I earned it through hard work! But chatting with maidens is the best part of the job! Yes, yes... but you must earn that right. If I throw you out and give you no money, not a maiden in town would speak with you! Incidentally, and not at all related to this conversation, but we are still in the will, yes? Hmm... I'm starting to think I need to change it! You ingrates! Well, if it is current father . . . but no, we admire you far too much.  It was a joke! You joke, you joke...  but you do little work. When are things going to change around here? What do you mean?  We do more work than Charlie Whiskers here, and he's family! I'm not sure about that, either! And he has a gastrointestinal problem. He cannot work! You know that! Well, if you value our contributions so little, then I guess we'll just put the accounting ledger we updated into this glass of wine.
