Yes, what a dilemma ... specialy if you have lots of windows or live in a three bedroomed flat. To agrevate, it's not very handy to hang cannons on the walls. Aparently he has a few on the floor of his mansion rooms and some other outside in the yard.

This is a an aproach somehow different than the usual. On the contrary,
what i have confrontated him with, was that once a member from this Forum found it hard for him to be able to contemplate so many items within the period of his living existence, and he candidly regconized that such inference was full of logic. As a matter of fact, it would be pathetic to expect that he would acquire piles and piles of ancient manuscripts with the intention of reading them all, rather than collecting them as an added value.
Indeed i find it amazing how characters can be different. My first reaction would never tend to be that of skepticism. Instead, my prior feeling goes for the sin of envy, whether the numbers are exagerated or not.
I wish he gave me some of those pieces.
