Editing ALVATIA: Ingsby - Garner Barn (section)

==Transients==

The reeve, Julian, and the bailiff, Cornelius, are mutually responsible for the barn's contents; any time the barn is opened, one of them is supposed to be present. In practice, the reeve is usually willing to let people he regards as responsible to enter the barn without him -- as long as they ask first, and give a reason. The bailiff is more strict, and has had some arguments with the reeve and some villagers about possible "pilferage."

During harvest days, the barn is open almost continually, with folk coming and going, and their grain being measured. At other times of the year, the barn might only be opened once every few days.
