JenkinsonianGabble snipped:

A man sowed fine seed in his field, trolls oversowed scum in among the
wheat. When the good stuff took off the scum appeared.

Lurkers took note and said to themselves: "How come he attracts this
scum?"

He said: "Trolls did this."

Someone said "Do you want us to trace him and do him an injury?"

Weatherlawyer said: "No; that by no chance, while dealing with scum you
become tainted or just like them. Let both grow together until the
harvest; and in due season the the scum can be used to render the
trolls up. My stuff will stand alone."

They said: "But they come and go in secret for they are scum."

He said: "One dark night someone will do them an injury and there will
be no witnesses and I will be in the pub with my friends at the time
and they will look around and think of me.
I'll be there."
