Last story about life and doorposts, both are borrowed was a good one

Mouse messenger story is a tall one above money that goes missing that is blamed on a mouse.

The start of the next one is fantastic and reminds one of the sort of stuff that envious people say even in the current day and age.

Finished the introduction and first story, the extravagant housewives of wholesalers. Interesting that a form of essentially privately issued money sprung up, although it seems like it was used to default by the debtor.
