: Hoy Companion! Here's a merry thought : why not execute the remaining 24 possessors of this larcencous tome in a style whose first letter is the same as that quickly scrawled for 200 bucks a time in the front of each book?! 'S' can be 'stabbed', 'P' can be 'pickled', and pity the lumpkin with book 'l', due for some 'land-scouring' mentioned in the Grey Prince! Handily, you've spared 'Z's miserable existance, which is just as well, because a modus morte beginning with this ultimate letter doesn't immediately to mind. Mind you, neither does one for Mike B's 'J', unless we make up a suitable Vancian bon motte redolent with woe and foreboding, like ...... 'Jellification'?

"S" must surely be subaqueation
"C" will co-operate with the Guild
"H" will yield up his glands for a Hormagaunt
"F" will suffer Forlorn encystment, and "L" Lugwiler's Dismal Itch
"E" will be Expelled from Ambroy into one inch of the neighbouring realm
"T" will suffer a Taint from Madame Nissifer
