A good friend of mine has taken it upon himself to look after a sniveling, detestable wretch of a Man. I am convinced this is a lost cause, and if the past is any indication, it is merely a matter of time before the Man in question proves himself wholly unworthy of such selfless concern and does my friend ill. It is simply in the Man's nature.
Shall I risk provoking my friend's temper and simply take this Man out to the woods and put an arrow in him, knowing it is his Fate to die by violence regardless, or do you think I should stand by my friend and be more supportive of his decision, mad though it is?

As for gifts, they should be appropriate to their reciever. And gift certificates to leather goods shops seldom go amiss."

"Leather goods are durable and useful, however it's far better to know the person's wants before delivering a gift. A small gift chosen thoughtfully is often best. Unless you dislike the person."
