@gelatinous_lotion me too. But if it's the price to get that trash of a father out of her life, I'll give him the money. Since "honor" was so important in those times, he won't show his face if he wants to live.
Half off-topic, but I hate the character type of the male character's "best friend" who is always teasing and needling him.
@MisPen
In both real life and fiction, these kinds of characters never ever go away when money is involved. They just keep coming back for more until the tap is shut off for good.
