Bride Price and Dowry revisited
The spelling of "dowery" was bugging me so I looked it up and sure enough, I've been spelling it wrong. It's dowry. It's the root word for "endowment". Not sure that clarifies anything.

Haha, LMP, I trust you rather blindly - you know, when you spelt it as "dowery" I was like "isn't it "dowry"? Oh, I guess "dowery" is just an alternative spelling..."

The sack-fight is packed.

It will take me a few days before I have time to start thinking about the quarterstaff-game. But it will come soonish. So please go on writing and use the interval for some interaction.
