clarification: the “book” in question for which I have no regard is the 2nd one burned (NOT the Holy Bible)— the ‘rare’ one he inherited from his late wife — though it’s probably spitting on her memory to burn it since obviously it was a remarkable item she received from a King (not that I would care, but presumably she did since she held onto it so long instead of giving it away)
LOL. That did not make things more clear.
