Nothing like being the barrier of bad news.  Don't shoot the messenger.
Though Nezz thought Kelson was going to hang his son up by his thumbs for just long enough to get the idea across that you do not tell royal couriers to wait to dispatch their duties.

Hey, I saw the stink-eye Kelson gave his kid, I was seriously worried for Javan.

Messengers have a hard time especially when they are the bearer of news the recipient doesn't want to hear

That's why we have the phrase:  "Don't shoot the messenger."

unfortunately the bearer of bad news all too often ends up paying the price.

OMG, Bede, I am grieving for that poor hand-scribed and illuminated library book! Good job, man, but I hope the librarian revokes your book-borrowing privileges. 😂 😅

Believe me, I protested vigorously against the misuse of that book! All for naught.

There's a reason those PRECIOUS MANUSCRIPTS were customarily chained to the wall or bookshelf! 

This is why villeins can't have nice things, right?

Ah but a book such as that does make a nice shield and vice grip. Don't you think so?

Edwin had just begun to believe that Bede might be civilised. He's not going to be a happy little scrivener.

Elspeth will be SHOCKED!

Poor Bede. Not only is the RSPCB after him, even several of his own teammates are upset with him!

Chapter President of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Books (RSPCB) standing by.... 

I for one was rather impressed with this colorful use of a huge tome. It is not a fighting tool that one sees every day. LOL Good Job Bede.

It served as a weapon but I can't think damaging the domesday book is a good idea. What exactly did Bede plan to do with the man after he defeated him? Still tracking down those behind the violence?
