Quittance from the past

I am SO sorry to have done this to you again, loyal readers. Here I am, trying to upkeep a New Year's Resolution to write on this blog everyday for a year, and I just up and forget to write my WoD in February... again.

Well, I'll try not to let it affect me again, it's just that Ashley and I got so caught up watching Bridget Jones' Diary late last night that I just completely forgot to write!  Anyway here it is:

quittance \KWIT-ns\, noun:

1. recompense or requital.
2. discharge from a debt or obligation.
3. a document certifying discharge from debt or obligation, as a receipt.

Unfortunately, I was unable to use that in a sentence yesterday as well as think of a witty anecdote of which to use it.  Instead, I will be devising a situation in which this word if used appropriately.  Imagine, if you will, a likely situation happening 200 years ago in which this conversation might have taken place:

-"UGH!  I absolutely hate being an indentured servant!  There is so much hard work and seven years is just too long!"

     -"Very well, I shall get your quittance immediately."

Don't you wish life was like that?
