Halted. Some optimist tried to work magic on me here, and some time during the previous evening or in the night concealed among my clothes a raw egg and a piece of partially chewed and maggoty liver. When I put my clothes on, it was manifested. I did not find out who it was but propose to put a retributory jadu on him.
