The friars found themselves behind in belfry payments so they decided to raise funds. Since many of them were quite good gardeners, they began raising flowers and selling them in a little shop they opened. Since the locals liked buying flowers from men of God, the business prospered.

It prospered too well for the liking of the florist in town. He begged them to shut down because his business was being ruined. The friars refused. Repeated requests were ignored.

Finally, in desperation, the florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, a known vicious thug to do something.

The friars were terrified at hearing that Hugh MacTaggart had been hired because he was known to be a godless man who would stop at nothing.

The friars immediately shut down their florist business.

The moral is - Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.
