Excerpt from The Knight of King's Guard Notwithstanding his crippled state, my father was wont to pay great attention to his feoff, and on those days when my Lord's men would come to labour on our farm he would insist upon being drawn forth in the long oaken box on wheels, which he grimly termed his coffin, wherein he would sit propped up with pillows, and so overwatch the two workmen as they ploughed or reaped according to the time Of the year.
