hired hand at the carters' yard, of Kuttenberg
“I am my own man and I make my own choices. The rest of this fucking town can go to hell.”
Things Claus Wagner had written, latest first, with the glosses of his neighbours.
the second day of Whitsun week, at None
Lamprecht says he has spoken to the bailiff about throwing me out. Let him! I earn my keep. Enneleyn is coming back from Prague soon and I am going to marry her. He can choke on his wrath.
Nota scribaeHe pointed his finger in my face the entire time he spoke.
the Tuesday of Easter week, at Vespers
Since Oswald got crushed by that wagon and took to his bed, the yard is a fucking mess. Nobody knows who is supposed to pay us. I stood in the cold all day rubbing my bruised hands for nothing.
Oswald always paid a fair wage. The rest of them are thieves hoarding their groschen.
the feast of St Gertrude, at Terce
Markvart is a fool. He is miserable over Sibyl the laundress but will not just marry the girl. I told him to tell Erhard to go to hell, just like I do with my father. Be a grown man.
It is not that simple, Claus. You know what my father is like.
It is exactly that simple. Kurva, just do it!
Nota scribaeHe shifted his weight from foot to foot like a man preparing for a brawl.
the Friday after St Matthias, at Prime
Lorenz Hartmann is an absolute idiot. Kurva, just fix the broken fence instead of sulking about it! Everyone in this town loves to complain instead of doing the work. I would fix it myself if he paid me a groschen.
Mind your own business, Claus. You know nothing about it.
Candlemas, at Sext
Fewer wagons on the road because of the war. Fucking freezing out here in the lower market. Enneleyn is the only one who listens to me, and she is in Prague. My brother Konrad just stares at me like I am mad.
If you stopped shouting at father for one morning, there would be peace in the house.
Nota scribaeDictated at the stone cross in the lower market.

That grasping hag only wants your strong back to carry her debts. You will freeze in the gutter.
Stand your ground, Claus. They cannot treat us like children forever.
