> These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened

> Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, the rival

> 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 business. They
> ignored her as well.

> 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, they did so - thereby proving
> that... only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
